About the year 1851 a church was built on a lot donated by Wesley Warwick. Previous to this time the members worshipped in the schoolhouse and in private dwellings. In 1863, the society having largely increased, a more substantial and commodious building was erected on the same site, the old church having been removed. The original membership has now almost disappeared, many having left the neighborhood, and others died. Previous to the organization of Massie Township this church was known as the Second Church in Wayne," but it was afterwards changed to its present name. Elder John Hisey was pastor until 1879, when Edward Pemlott, a young minister, was chosen, and after retaining the charge eighteen months, left for Michigan in august 1991, since which time the church has been without a pastor.

	Rev. John Hisey, farmer and minister; P. O. Waynesville; is a son of Jacob Hisey, who was a son of Christian Hisey, a native of Germany, who settled in the Shenandoah Valley, Va., in an early day. Jacob Hisey was born and grew to manhood there, and there married Emiline Williamson. In the year 1816, he moved with his family to Ohio and settled in East Wayne Township, Warren County, where he purchased a small tract of land, which he cultivated in connection with working in and carrying on a blacksmith shop for many years. He raised a large family of children, and lived to see all those who survive well settled in life. By the industry and frugality of himself and wife, besides raising his family he acquired a considerable amount of property. He was for many years a member of the Free-Will Baptist Church, and was a worthy and exemplary member, and contributed liberally for the support of the church of his choice. In October, 1854, his wife, the partner, of his younger and advanced years, departed this life. He was again married, and at his death left a widow. He departed this life May 6, 1870, aged 84 years, at peace with all mankind, and in full hope of a blissful immortality--the noblest work of God, and honest man.
