     Officially organized in 1874 with the Rev. D. L. Lake as first pastor, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South of Edom is believed to have been founded as early as 1859, relocating to this site in the 1920s. A singing school began in 1866 and a Women's Missionary Society was formed by 1914. Church members cultivated a history of worship and service. In 1952, a new brick building replaced earlier wood structures. A fellowship hall and library were added in 1984. Celebrating over 70 years at the same site in 1997, Edom United Methodist Church (renamed in 1968) continues a tradition of community involvement. (1997) Incise on base: Polly L. Martin, Historian
