Claysville Church
Claysville Church is located at the intersection of the Northwestern Turnpike (now US 50) and WV 93 in Claysville, West Virginia, United States.[1]
Claysville Church was built in 1850 under the direction of Daniel Hendrickson and William Fout, as a church of the Virginia Conference of the United Brethren Church.[1][2] Reuben Davis and John Liller donated the land where the church is located on the spot where their separate property boundaries joined.[2]
Both Union and Confederate soldiers used the church for services during the Civil War.[3]
In 1968, the Evangelical United Brethren and the Methodist Churches combined to form the United Methodist Church.[1] The church and grounds are owned by the Mineral County Historical Society.[1] The 1854 church Bible, roll books from 1856 to 1896, and other historic items are preserved. Additionally, there is a cemetery with many graves sites behind the church.[citation needed]
