THE DISCIPLE CHURCH of Camden, came into being in May, 1842, the organizing members being John Cyrenius, Norton Bates, Jane M., his wife, Henry Crandall, and Irene Cyrenius. The church soon increased in numbers, and its members began to feel the need of a place for holding other meetings. To meet this want a church was built in 1851 at the center. This church was the regular place of worship for the society until 1871, when, for the accommodation of the majority of members, the church took possession of a new brick meeting house at Kipton. The first person employed to fill the pulpit of the Disciple church was the Rev. Mr. Miller. The desk is now filled half of the time by the Rev. F. M. Gibbs, and half of the time by the Rev. Walter D. Close. The church, at the close of 1878, had over two hundred members, fifty being added in December through interest awakened by a revival. Following are the officers of this church : Elders, William Anderson, Hiram Prentiss; deacons, William Douglas, Chauncey Cloe, H. H. Crandall, F. Dauzy; clerk, H. V. Hawkins; treasurer, Hiram Prentiss; trustees, H. H. Crandall, James Van Deusen, William Anderson, Chauncey R. Close, Hiram Prentiss.
