[Page 661]

     The Hockingport Congregational Church was organized by Rev. Lucien Ford, of the Home Missionary Society.  Mr. Ford held the first services at the house of Douglas Putnam, with an audience of seventy-five or 100 persons.  He preached to this society for some time. The organization of the society at Coolville reduced the membership here somewhat.  The church, which cost $2,000, is now used by Prof. Keyes for his normal school. 
     The Methodist Episcopal Society here is very old - one of the oldest in this part of the State.  It now belongs to the circuit comprising Hockingport, Coolville, Torch, Bethel and Little Hocking.

TORCH.

     The settlement of Torch is located in the eastern part of Troy Township, and has a population of about seventy-five.  It has two stores, kept by William Walden and A. H. Knowles, a blacksmith and wagon shop, and a steam flouring mill, owned by a Mr. Bell.  The village has sprung into existence since the railroad was built, and consequently does not boast of the antiquity of Coolville and Hockingport.  The post office has been established about twenty-five years.
