History of
Woodland Church and Graveyard
Woodland church was organized about 1870-72. The frame
building was erected at a cost of about $2000. Some of
the first members were Jas. E. Bohart, Richard P. Funk,
Soloman Welton, J. W. Bradley and A. J. Roberts. Among
the earlier ministers who served the church were Elders
Josiah Waller, Baird Waller, William Stephens, John
Perkins, T. Trader and Revs. Williamson and Akers. About
20 years ago after the church became quite delapidated a
windstorm razed the building. Nearby is the church
graveyard, plainly seen from highway No. 10, about ten
miles east of Liberty.
