Church Union Ends Long Local Pastorate Strife
The consolidation of two local churches ends a decades long conflict over ministry at Assembly's Church. A string of pastors faced dwindling finances as downtown membership shifted abroad, with internal calls to replace the pastor and a near-sellout of church unity. The death of Dr Ramsdell is noted as a turning point that allowed the congregation to find a home.

History of the North Church and its Union
The North Church on M Street between Ninth and Tenth NW traces to a 1863 mission of New York Avenue Church. It recalls charter families, long service under Rev. Ramsdell, and the dramatic 1903 to 1906 struggle over a union with New York Avenue Church, ending with a memorial to presbytery and the 1906-1907 consolidation under Rev. George P. Wilson.
