The History of Rock County, Wisconsin Its Early Settlement, Growth, Development, Resources, Etc. Page 652-653 The First Congregational Church of Clinton was organized March 30, 1858, by a Council of Delegates from the Churches of Beloit, Allen's Grove, Emerald Grove and Shopiere. It consisted, at its formation, of the following persons: James Benedict, Abby Benedict, …. § In September, 1858, the Church was received by the Beloit District Convention. In 1860, through the kindness and liberality of Mr Thomas Tuttle, who donated the land, the society was enabled to erect a church, only the main edifice, however, which cost $2,000, and in consideration of that liberality and the interest which he took in it from the date of its organization the Church and society adopted the following: “Resolved, That we extend our thanks to Mr Thomas Tuttle, for his gift of the site and fence for the church building, together with the interest manifested by him in the erection of the house.” In 1867, the society erected a parsonage on a lot adjoining the church, which was bought at a cost of $250, by Mr Thomas Tuttle, and presented by him to the Church, the whole costing about $1,800, In 1871, an addition to the church, consisting of a chapel and vestry room, was erected at a cost of $1,900, and, in 1876, a bell was purchased at a cost of $300. The society is in a very prosperous condition, a fact which may be judged of by the fact that, within the past nine years, its members, in addition to meeting the neccessary expenses, have contributed nearly $1,000 for benevolent purposes. § The following is a list of Pastors from the date of its organization to the present time 1860 64 Rev WH Bernard of Shopiere supply 1864 66 Rev PF Warner 1866 69 Rev James Brewer 1869 72 Rev DM Breckenridge from Chicago Theological Seminary 1872 79 Rev GF Bronson SD Peet present incumbent The gentlemen who have filled the office of Deacon are Messrs.
