Notes for William A. Faus
About the meetinghouse of the Society of Friends [Quakers] at Millville, "Historical and Biographical Annals of Columbia and Montour Counties, Pennsylvania" (J. H. Beers & Co., 1915; obtained from Google Books), Volume I p. 236, says this:
For sixteen years services were held in the barn of William Robbins. A church was built in 1825 and occupied until 1857. It was located at the forks of the road from Millville to Rohrsburg. A second building was erected at Millville in 1882 and the present one in 1897. It is a fine brick structure, with a belfry, and cost $4,000. The pastors of this church have been Revs. Joseph S. Lee, George H. Day, D. Y. Brouse, C W. Rishell, W. H. Hartman, Joseph A. Bretz, A. C. Logan, Fred A. Goeler, Zaccheus Weston, William A. Faus. The last named gave up a more lucrative charge in order to minister to the congregation at Millville, the home of his mother, Elvira Wright.
