"Wait's Church to Celebrate 100th Anniversary and an Old Home day"
"One hundred years ago the Waits of today was known as Wait Settlement, which name continued until a post office was established, when the name was changed to Waits.
"The establishing of a church there had its beginning in about 1837, when the Wait Settlement class was organized. The class held services at the school house until the building of a church in 1853. The class continued to meet until 1852, when a society was formed at the school house on June 9 in that year. The society was incorporated as "The Trustees of the Wait Settlement of the Methodist Episcopal Church." The trustees elected were John Wait, Nathaniel Goodspeed, W. White, Simmons W. Harden, S. B. Harden, and Henry Wait, Jr.
"The church was built on an acre of land, which was donated by Henry Wait, after whom the place was named Wait Settlement. Mr. Wait purchased 900 acres of land there, on which he removed from Saratoga county in 1819.
"The deed for the acre of land was not executed until Dec. 5, 1866. The society was incorporated for the second time on June 5, 1865, the same title having been retained. John Wait, James A. Nichols, Henry Dunham, James Olmstead, and Orin D. Nichols were elected as trustees.
"The most extensive alterations on the church were made in 1886, which cost $820. The church was reopened on December 15, the Rev. Wilson Treible delivering the dedicatory sermon and the Rev. Mr. H. M. Cryndenwise conducting the dedicatory services."
