Hoshouer was pastor of the Smithsburg charge, with which it has always been connected. The cornerstone was laid June 1, 1830. Besides the pastors, Revs. H. L. Baugher, D. D., J. G. Anspach, D. D., and Rev. John Winters of the Lutheran Church, and Rev. John Reinkey of the Moravian church, took part in the religious services. it was intended to be a union church of Lutherans and Reformed. The lot for the church was donated by Mr. Geo. P. Fox, Sr., who, with Messr. Wm. Brown, St., Thomas Brown, Abraham Poorman, Christian Gates and Philip Fox were the first officers. The organization took place in 1834, during the pastorate of Rev. A. Reck, with 40 charter members, and at the same time 32 were added by confirmation.
