Scott Valley Church History
The Scott Valley church, which includes in its territory Coffey and Woodson counties and a strip three miles wide of the counties of Anderson and Allen, was organized on June 18, 1 887 . It was formerly a part of the Ced ar Creek (now Mont Ida ) congregation.
The Brethren were apparently unknown in the community when in about 1884, Elder Jesse Studebaker of Mont Ida, one of the most influential and widely-known of the Brethren in eastern Kansas, began holding meetings from time to time in the ' Mount Joy and Scott Valley school houses . The presence of a good number of French people, largely Spiritualists, did not make the field altogether a promising o ne. Bro. Studebaker was assisted in his efforts by Brethren Chas. M. Yearout and James Shaw.
When the organization was perfected there were about forty or forty- five members who fell properly within the bounds of the new congregation. Of the earlier members the following names are preserved : Jacob Keim and wife, James Shaw and wife, E . J. Miller and wife, John M. Miller and wife, Z . B . Mummert and wife, Solomon Boots and wife, George Slaughter and wife, Jerry Overstreet and wife, Job Hulse and wife, Adam Clark and wife, Bro. Lane and wife, David Miller, Mary Miller, Annie Shemberger, and Caroline Bouse. The Scott Valley church was organized at the Scott Valley school house, one and one- half miles northwest of the present church building. Jesse Studebaker was chosen elder in charge, E . J. Miller was elected clerk, and Solomon Boots was chosen treasurer. James Shaw and E . J. Miller were the ministers and John M. Miller and Z . B . Mummert were deacons.
At the second business meeting it was decided to hold meetings alternately at the Mount Joy and Scott Valley school houses . In 1888, Charles M. Yearout, a minister in the second degree, moved into the congregation. The church prospered. A proj ect to build a church in 1889 , however, miscarried. On July 7 , 189 1, with Elders S. Z. Sharp, Daniel Vaniman, Jesse Studebaker, and James E . Hilkey present, Bro. Yearout was ordained to the eldership. On May 2 0, 1 8 9 3 , the matter of b uil ding a church again c ame up an d a committee on location was appointed, consisting of Peter Hahn, Jake Clark, and J. M. Miller. A special council, held on September 24, 189 3, accepted the committee’ s report, agreeing upon the southeast corner of the Woodberry farm as the location. The building committee consisted of Jake Clark, Solomon Boots, Peter Hahn, C. Myers, and B . Bouse. In due time a commodious structure, thirty- two by fifty feet, was erected. On November 4, 1 89 4, it was dedicated, free from debt, by Elder M. T. Baer. The church is located nine miles south and one mile east of Waverly, nine miles northwest of Westphalia, and eleven miles west and two north of Mont Ida.
The losses by emigration have been heavy. According to one account, up to 19 1 5, one hundred and ninety- two letters had been granted and but one hundred and sixteen had been received. There had been Sixteen deaths and twenty members had been disfellowshipped . All told, about one hundred and twenty persons had been baptized. The city of Independence has attracted many members . Others have moved to California, Colorado, Idaho, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Washington. In 19 18, the membership was about twenty- four or twenty—six. Isolated members who logically belong to Scott Valley are found at Hall’ s Summit, Neosho Falls, and Burlington.
Seven men have been called to the ministry by this congregation. They are Charles A. Miller ( October 13, F. G. Edward s (February 2 1, Ernest F. Sherfy (Feb ruary 2 1, John S. Sherfy (January 2 , Frank R. Smith (January 2, C. Myers ( September 17 and H. C. Smith (October 14, The two last named were, at their own request, relieved of the ministerial office.
In 19 08, J. M. Atkins, a minister, moved into the congrega tion. On July 6 , A. M. Peterson, a minister, handed in his letter but removed the same year. J. A. Strohm, another minister, came in 19 1 1 . The following ordinations have taken place : Charles M. Yearout (July 7 , Frank R. Smith and J. A.

When we stumble...
O Lord our God, Who has called us to serve You in the midst of the world's affairs, When we stumble, hold us; when we fall, lift us up. When we are hard pressed with evil, deliver us. When we turn from what is good, turn us back and bring us at last to Your glory.
