Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the North Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church: From Its Organization, in 1844, to the Present
At the session of the North Indiana Conference at Bluffton, in 1910, two conference historians were ap pointed, H. N. Herrick and Milton Mahin. At that time Milton Mahin was the oldest living member of the conference, having joined the old Indiana Conference in 1841, and had continued in the active ministry until 1894; his active ministry thus covering the Whole life of the North Indiana Conference. Dr. Herrick had entered the ranks of the conference in 1868 and con tinued in the active work of the ministry until 1910, when he was granted a superannuated relation. Both of these men were thus well fitted to write a history of their conference. Both had been active in the con ference, Milton Mahin having been secretary during the years of the Civil War, and each of them had served as Presiding Elders or District Superintendents. In 1911 Dr. F. G. Brown was added to the number of conference historians, the conference rightly thinking that his experience as Assistant Editor of the Western Christian Advocate would stand him in good stead in gathering material for the history of the conference.
Dr. H. N. Herrick immediately began to plan and work for the accomplishment of the task to which he and his committee had been assigned by his beloved conference. He planned a complete historical survey of every church in the conference, and there was ap pointed, under his direction, county historians for each county in the conference, whose duty it was to collect material for the history of every Methodist Episcopal church in the county. The county historians appointed were as follows: Adams county, Rev. W. J. Myers; Allen, Mr. O. E. Mohler; Blackford, Rev. B. G. Shinn, attorney; Cass, Mr. I. W. Krider; dekalb, Mr. M. B.
