{QUOTED TEXT from 'History of Hancock County, Indiana, From its Earliest Settlement by the "Pale Face," in 1818, down to 1882' by J.H. Binford 1882}

Curry's Chapel (Methodist Episcopal),
is located about five miles north-east of Greenfield. Methodist meetings in this neighborhood were first held about 1830; but not till 1834 was there a permanent organization, and meetings were held for a time at the private residences of Moses Vangilder, James Park, and others, till 1843, when a log meeting-house was erected near by where the present frame now stands. At that date, and until within the last few years, this charge belonged to the Greenfield circuit. In 1866, the old log was superseded by a neat frame, costing $1,300. It was dedicated by J. W. T. McMullen. The first pastor was Rev. Barwick. The first class-leader was William Martindale. The present pastor is Rev. H. Woolpert. A Sunday-school is sustained during the summer season. --pg 202
