What: The Hartsville Hill Church
Who: Judith Finlay
The Hartsville Hill Church was built by a group of Seventh Day Baptists
in 1856. It was a wooden structure measuring 30’ x 46’ and dedicated on
October 2, 1856. At that time Hiram P. Burdick was Pastor. The church was
located at the crossroads on top of Hartsville Hill in Steuben County.
Unused for many years, the church was totally destroyed by fire the night of
August 15, 1966.
The appliquéd and embroidered square of the church was made by the
youngest of the community quilters and framed by Paul Miller of Waterwells
Road in Alfred.
