!"History of Columbia County, Wisconsin-1880" under the "Town of Marcellon": "The first religious services in the town were held on Section 1, at the house of Mr. Powell in June 1846. Elder Wedge, a Baptist minister, was the pioneer preacher of the Gospel, and addressed the audience on this occasion."
"In 1879, there were two churches in town, the Methodist Episcopal Brethern having on Section 7, and the Baptists on Section 5."
"The Baptists haave a church on the southwest quarter of Section 5, which was built in 1869.Mitchell, Rounds, Coker, Loomer, Dates and Woodworth were active in it's consturction."
There was no information concerning Baptist in the "Town of Leeds".
