Excerpt from Churches of the Valley: Or, an Historical Sketch of the Old Presbyterian Congregations of Cumberland and Franklin Counties, in Pennsylvania The early history of the old Presbyterian Churches of Cumberland Valley is fast growing dim. Many of those in whoso memories interesting facts and incidents were treasured, are now dead; and others, to whom they were intrusted by tradition, are rapidly passing away. That it is desirable to have embodied in an accessible form, the recollections and records connected with the origin and progress of these venerable congregations, none, it is believed, will question, who appreciate the tics which bind them to the past, or the duty which they owe to the future. These churches, are almost the only relics of antiquity that are to be met with in our new country, and for this reason, to say nothing of their deep religious associations besides, an effort should be made to save them from oblivion.
