East Iowa Tipton Methodists Chronicle Growth and Leadership

The Tipton Cedar county Methodist story begins in 1837 with Rev. Barton H. Cartwright and expands to a 1904 brick church built for 900 seats. The 1904 dedication by Bishop John W. Hamilton followed a $23,000 project largely funded by pledges and local contributions. The congregation grew to about 500 members with 370 in Sunday school and a long line of pastors including Parsons, Locke, Cook, Van Buren, Kerwin, Hudson, Joslin, Ackman, Reed, Jerrell, Crossley, Sires, Wolfe and Long.
