As Transcribed by the Lost River DAR

Orangeville Township Section 9, T.2 N.-R.1 W. Used Occasionally.

Located in the north east quarter, of the section, Wesley Chapel was first called Bruner’s. It was one of the eight churches, which composed the Orangeville Mission. For several years meeting were held at Shirley schoolhouse, and later at the home of Alfred Bruner. In 1857 a house of worship was built on the Bruner farm. There are a number of graves, a noticeable number being small children with native stone markers without inscriptions. Within the church is a bronze tablet with inscription viz: In memory of Lucy Bruner Halbert. Her life was beautiful, her faith large, her death victorious. She loved her Christ and her church, and left to Wesley Chapel a perpetual reminder of her noble life. 1843-1928. Mrs. Halbert, a daughter of Alfred and Mary Wilson Bruner is buried at Orleans, Indiana.
