Near the school house stood the church. For fifteen years, the school house was the first synagogue. We are told that on Sab- bath days, the families of East Palmyra used to meet with the families of Macedon for worship in this village, coming up and down Mud Creek in boats. The early ministers, of different denominations, were Rev. Messrs. Condit, Johnson, Roe, Lane, Fairbanks, Bell, and Townsend. Sabbath services have never been interrupted since the arrival of the Long-Island colony. For fif...teen years private dwellings and school houses were the synagogues. In 1807, a meeting was called at East Palmyra to deliberate upon the erection of a house of worship. The question of locality called forth a sharp debate. Oliver Clark plead for the north side of the creek. $100 if on the 21 north side, — $50 if on the south side. Humphrey Sherman advo- cated the south side. $100 if on the south side — nothing if on the north side. The site was at length fixed, where the Presby- terian church, in East Palmyra, now stands.
