The Epworth League at Lewis Chapel

In early May of 1893, the Plain City Methodist Episcopal Church helped the youth of Lewis Chapel in Chuckery to form an Epworth League.  This was an early version of today's MYF, of Methodist Youth Fellowship.  There were 25 original members of the Lewis Chapel Epworth League.  At their first meeting, these youth elected the following people to officer positions - Lin Elliott, President; George R. Mitchell, 1st Vice President; Alice Fairbanks, 2nd Vice President;  A. R. Bigelow, 3rd Vice President; Amy Bigelow, 4th Vice President; Effie Baker, Secretary; and John Fairbanks, Treasurer.
