Historic Stark area churches, ION Evangelical and Reformed and Zion Lutheran, began in 1814 with a log cabin and later a Grecian-Doric hall near Zion Cemetery, North Canton. They separated in 1880, Zion Reformed moving to New Berlin, building a 1881 church funded by John Sheets, and later a 1909 structure.
