Description
Samuel Pettit and his wife write a news-filled letter to Finley. The Piqua charge is now united and being served by a first rate Methodist preacher, Brother Dimmitt (Jacob G. Dimmitt). Though Pettit is sure that Finley has heard the news about Parker Finley's death (Samuel Parker Finley, son of Rev. John Patterson Finley and Sarah/Sally Strain), he and Mrs. Pettit provide details about his sad demise in Piqua from pleurisy. The Seceders (Scottites) no longer cause trouble. They have all withdrawn and have organized a new church. The Piqua charge is much better off without these people. Abstract Number - 217
