The history of . Dungannon
' church 'goes back. to • the 1;840's
when :services 'Were' held occas-
ionally .by "saddle bag" ministers,.
The first regular' .services' were
conduced' by Rev.'; Samuel Fear
in 1850 in a,private home ,in the
district.'
In :1855' the Wesleyan ', 1etho-'
dist Union Church of Ashfield
was built on the southeast cor-
ner of David dirvin's farm. Har-
old Elliott presently.: lives on the
'fame:. The -circuit included the
area. af Ashfield, Wavwanosh and
Colborne Townships with Nile
• and . Dungannon as ~~fain.; points.
The Ashfield' (Wawanosh). Mis-
sion was later `changed to the
Dungannon Mission, :and 'in 1881
a new circuit was formed com-
if
prised of Dungannon,. Nile -Part
Road and • Sheppardton. In 1887
a' new . Dungannon charge was.

One of the highlights .of
gannen Church history' ' was the
'erection of , the* present church
in • 1909:' After , an enthusiastic
start on the :construction of the
Church,' the work !began to lag
due to 'circumstances over which
the congregation had no control:
Many -became disheartened and
felt (that the•rwork world have to
lie postponed indefinitely.
However, with the. arrivalof
the new' minister. ReV. L. F.
Bartlett, new enthusiasm was
evident on all .sides and the ,con-
' gregation 'rallied to finish the
church- The cornerstone was laid
'on July 22, 1909. Opening ser-
vices were conducted in, the
Church on December 19th, 1909.
In 1925 Chu 'ch 11nian.. was con-
' summated and the United Church
of•Canada came into being: b.
In. July, .1953, the .Crewe .Con
gregatiorr-ammalgarmated with the
Dungannon congregation, and at
- • • the same time the Nile appoint-
ment 'became. one with Dungan-,
nrlo and. Port Albert to form
the Dungannon pastoral charge.
Bev, George . D, Watt, who be-
. gan to minister at 'Dungannon
in 1951, is the present pastor .of
