Amherst’s First Methodist Church Built by Captain Stinton Sholes
Captain Stinton Sholes, an early Amherst pioneer, vowed to build a church after a forest ride in 1831 when his horse dragged him. He led the construction of Amherst’s first Methodist sanctuary at Four Corners, facing temperance resistance, amid a town known for rough life and later moved on. The church served until 1874 and a fire in 1900.

Ohio Quakes Labeled Minor Leagues by Seismologist
Dr Edward J Waller of John Carroll University says Ohio faults exist but are not quake mechanisms. A Steubenville area tremor last week registered only faintly, while California’s big quakes dominate headlines. The Mt Carmel quake of 1811 is noted for comparison.
