Here is some additional history, found in an 1883 history of the Upper Peninsula: The church building is a handsome gothic structure, costing originally $8,000, which sum was raised through the efforts and influence of the ladies of the society. The construction of the building was necessarily slow, the work being prosecuted during the hard times of 1875-76. The first steps taken toward the organization of this church and society were made in the month of January, 1874. At this time, Rev. D. Stewart Banks, of Marquette, visited Ishpeming and held the first regular services in the interest of the churches. The following month of April, Rev. J. B. Andrews, at this date a licentiate and student, came to Ishpeming and held the first series of services, under the direction of the Presbytery, closing his labors in September to resume his studies at the Northwestern Theological Seminary of Chicago, preaching his farewell sermon August 16. In the early part of June, during the period of Rev. Mr. Andrews' labors, the Presbytery appointed a Committee of Organization to establish the church, consisting of Rev. D. Stewart Banks, and Elders G. P. Cummings and A. R. Harlow, all of Marquette. Under the administration of these gentlemen, the organization was effected June 26, 1874. Messrs. B. N. Wright, Charles L. Sheldon and Duncan Gilchrist were elected and ordained Ruling Elders, and the following gentlemen were chosen as a Board of Trustees: G. D. Johnson, E. R. Hall, C. H. Wingate, B. N. Wright, B. Mitchell, Lester Curtis, Dr. W. T. Carpenter, Julius Ropes, D. M. Collwell. Twenty-four persons united with the church at its organization, including the following; Duncan Gilchrist, Mrs. M. Bigger, Lester Curtis, Mrs. L. Curtis, Mrs. A. Collwell, Mrs. M. Benson, Mrs. L. F. Wright, George Sheldon, Mrs. F. J. Newman, Mrs. E. R. Sheldon, Mrs. J. H. Campbell, Mrs. A. Christian, Charles L. Sheldon, B. W. Wright, C. H. Wingate, E. R. Hall, S. McSachlin, Miss M. J. Ropes, Mrs. E. Droward, Mrs. C. Gilchrist, Arthur D. Moore, Mrs. A. P. Wingate, John H. Campbell, Miss Anna Christian. From August, 1874, until June, 1875, the church was without a pastor. Occasionally the pulpit was filled by visiting clergymen, and services were often held at which a sermon was read by one of the Ruling Elders. On the 5th of June, 1874, Rev. James A. Mitchell was appointed a stated supply for the church, officiating until July 6, 1875, at which date Rev. E. W. Garner was installed as pastor, continuing his pastorate until August 11, 1879, resigning after accomplishing four years of faithful, earnest work for his church and society. While the society was under the trust of Mr. Garner, the present church building was erected, the ground being broken in September, 1875. The basement was completed January 16, 1876, and was used as a place of worship until the main building of the church was finished, in November, 1877. The building was dedicated November 25, 1877, Rev. D. Stewart Banks, of Marquette, delivering the dedication sermon, assisted in the sermon by the pastor and Rev. E. W. Wilkerson, pastor of, the Methodist Episcopal Church of Ishpeming. After the resignation of Mr. Garner, the church was without a pastor until March, 1880, and also without regular preaching, depending upon such supply as could be procured. Rev. A. F. Ashley, the present pastor, commenced his labors March 18, 1880, acted as stated supply until July 28, 1880, at which date he was installed as regular pastor of the church.
