The first movement for establishing | the Gospel ministry In Killingly was! in 1708 when the court granted “ib- | erty to the inhabitants to survey and! 1ay cut one hundred acres of land within their téwnship for the use and | encouragement of a minister to settle therc and carry on the worship of Uod amenw. them.” A hundreg acres of land were piedged by Captain Chandler in the presence and with the | concurrence of the selectmen. | First Minister. i The first minister was Rev. John | Fi#k, of Braintree, Mass, a son of | Rev. Moses Fisk and a graduate of Harvard college and today in this sec- | tion are a number of his descendants | in the eighth generation His work | probably began about 1710, religious services being held in privite houses in different parts of the town. July 16th, 1711, the town agreed to give Mr. Fisk three hundred and . fifty acres of lang for his encouragement to settle in the work of the ministry. Stated religlous -services were prob- ubly held after this date. Meeting House Raised. In the summer of 1714 the meeting house was raised and covered. It site was about a_quarter of mile soutn of the present East Putnam meeting house but ncthing is known of {ts size, appearance or circumstances o1 its buillding. September 15th, 1715, was observed in Killingly as a day of solemn fasting and prayer, prepara- Lry to the gathering of a chureh and the ordination of a pastor uUc.ober 18th, 1715, a church was organized and Rev. John kisk ordained its pas- tor. (It is this orgamization tnac is ncw belng ooserved.) Original Members. The originai memoers were: John Fisk, James Danieison, Peter Aspin. wall, James Leavens, Sampson Huwe, fkibenezer Lalman, fichard Blooss George Blanchara, Isaac Jewelt, Thomas Gould and Stephen Urover. Six additional communicants were aa- mitted before tne civse oI the year. in December of the same year Peter As- pinwall and Lieazer balman were chosen deacons. ‘rhe frst marriage recorded by the young minister was that of. William Larned to Hannan Bryant. The ministry of Rev. Mr. Fisx was acceptable and prosperous and large numbvers were added 10 the church, 5 The™ church prospered for a_ while and in 1723-29 a season of special re- ligious interest added sixty to s membership. Mr. risk remained in the pastorate until July Sth, 1741, when he was dismissed at his own re- quest. Unhappy Controversy. A protracted meecting house contro- versy follewed the dismissal of Mr. Fisk. It was decided to build a new meeting house and to divide the Kirst society into two and the peo- ple of each prospective society had to nave the meeting house wthnin their own bounds. ‘Lhe northern -~ people wished it to stand near the old church on Killingly Hill and the southern people wanted it located on Breakneck Hill. A disgraceful wrangle ensued and the assembly and goverpnor and council were appealed to by both sides but the reccmmendations and advice was disregarded by the Breakneck faction which went ahead and built a church age'nst the opinion of the as- sembly and in October, 1745, the as- sembly divided the society making two distinct societies of it. A wrangle then ensued as to which was the Frist society but the assémbly quickly quelled this by deciding in favor of the North society. First Society Reorganizes. The First soclety now hastened to reorganize. Rgv. Pearley Howe was then pastor elect and continued in that relation until his death, March 10th, 1753. By consent of the town the society pulled down the old meet- ing house and erected a new one. This was in the last end of 1745. This was about a quarter of a mile north of the old one and the house was said to be peted and the pews recushioned. The electric lighting system has also been improved. The church presents a very attractive and cosy appearance and many of the parishioners, seeing the completed work for the first time on Sunday, were delighted. Since August services have been held in the vestry of the church, which is to have a new organ in the not distant future. remodeling has been completed, ser- | vices were held in the Congregational | made , interior of the church painted, recar-!8old and guaranteed by Utley & Jonas .
