Main Street, Goshen, Indiana
| Description: |
Oliver Crane created lots for the county seat in 1831. One tradition says Goshen is named after Mr. Cranes hometown in Orange County, New York; another says it was because the land was rich and productive like the biblical land of Goshen. Message on postcard reads: I came up this evening to attend the communion. Large crowd. They love a splendid church here. Bro. Rench used to be their pastor. I had never met Bro. Kimmel before. He is their present pastor. His wife has an uncle living near Curryville - James Nicodemus. They have the same hymnal as at Bunker Hill. Those old familiar hymns made me homesick. I almost felt myself back on the circuit. A.L.D. Postcard addressed to: Miss Margaret Himes, Saxton, Penna. R.R. 1 |
