East Ohio Conference History and Growth in Ohio Methodism
The East Ohio Conference emerged from reorganizations within the Pittsburgh and Erie conferences, tracing its roots to early 1787 sermons and 19th century society formations. It grew through boundary changes and the 1876 Canton session, with 1908 figures showing 2,000 preachers, 60,700 members, 557 churches, and a $3.98 million property value.
