responsibilities and joining in
the dedication of their church
(in Jacksonville) January 1,
1854."
The history continues with the
arrival of the Rev. Moses A.
Williams, synodical missionary
under the Presbyterian board of
national missions in southern
Oregon in 1856. He organized
the First Presbyterian church of
-Jacksonville November 27, 1857,
and services were held in the
Methodist church until Decem
ber 4, 1881, when the Presby
terian church was erected and
dedicated.
Mr. Williams is also credited
with organizing First Presby
erian church of Ashland Aug
ust 28, 187$ and the Presbyter
Ian church in Phoenix. March
