St. Paul's Episcopal Church.
This church was organized in 1862, and services were first held in Exchange Hall, High Street; afterward the congregation worshiped in a chapel on Maple Street, the property of one of their members.
The corner-stone of the first church edifice owned by the parish, the same which they now occupy, was laid in 1866, and the church was subsequently completed at a cost of $30,000. Early in the year 1868 the congregation began to hold services in the new church. It has accommodations for seating 300 to 400 persons. The present rector is Rev. A. Skeele, and the church-wardens are George H. LeDoyt and E.P. Ford. The present number of communicants is 180.
