The Free Methodist Church was organized in Harmony hall early in 1864 by Rev. Wm. Cooly. The earliest members were Samuel Fornecrook, Elizabeth Fornecrook, Harrison Holcomb, Mary A. Holcomb, Almira Potter, Mr. And Mrs. Henry Baker, Henry and Isaac Cole, Wm. Phillips, Betsey Strong, Phebe Griner, Eukphemia Grover, Philip Sours, P. Grimshaw and Isaac Hammond. The first pastor installed was Rev. J.B. Stacey. The society purchased the old Baptist church building near the Public square, but the title reverted to the original owners. The society then purchased a half interest in the old Methodist church building with the Lutheran society and it was dedicated in 1864 by Rev. D.W. Thurston. The earliest pastors were J.B. Stacey two years, Rev. M.D. McDougal two years, Rev. J.B. Freeland two years, Rev. M.N. Downing two years, Rev. Wm. Southworth two years, Rev. J.S. Whiffin two years and Rev. O.M. Owen.

Post Office - in 1817 a post office was established at Lauraville called Galen. James Humeston was appointed postmaster and the office was located in Humeston's tavern. In 1826 through the influence of Congressman Robert Rose and Wm. S. Stow the name of the post office was changed to Clyde and the office was located on the north side of the river. Dr. Wells was the first postmaster, Sylvester Clark followed Dr. Wells. Dr. James Dickson, a physician and merchant, who died from cholera in 1832, was the third postmaster. James Humeston, the fourth, Aaron Griswold, the fifth, Col. P.V.N. smith, the sixth, appointed by President Harrison, August Kellogg, the seventh postmaster, appointed by President Tyler, Joseph D. Stone, the eighth, appointed during President Tyler's administration, Jacob T. Van Buskirk, the ninth, appointed by President Taylor, and James Chapman, the tenth, appointed by the succeeding national administration, served until 1862. Samuel S. Morley, in 1862, was appointed postmaster by President Lincoln.

Commissioners to erect the first county buildings in Wayne county, were Nathaniel Kellogg, William Patrick and Simeon Griswold.
