ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY

This church was constituted with seven members as the Presbyterian Church of Peach Orchard on September 15, 1809 by the Reverend Mr. William Clark and the Reverend Mr. Charles Mosher. Elders and deacons were elected on October 29, 1809. On February 23, 1810 trustees were elected and the church's name was changed to the First Presbyterian Church of Hector. In 1817 the trustees purchased a lot for a cemetery and in 1818 a church was built. In 1853 the building was repaired at a cost of $1,400.
