Note James GILLAND is the father of Hiram D. GILLAND husband of Mary Elizabeth WRIGGLESWORTH.

The only other village in the town is the little hamlet in the western centre of section 9, called

COHOCTAH

though the more common name applied to it is the less euphonious one of "SPRUNGTOWN." This last name is not, as some might suppose, a sarcastic fling at its origin, but was merely conferred upon it in honor of one of its most prominent citizens, Mr. Isaac Sprung. The first building erected here was a small log shanty which was put up by William G. Phares, for a dwelling, about thirty years ago. Its location was upon the corner of the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section 9, near the site of the present blacksmith-shop of Michael Meier. It was occupied by different parties, until it became too dilapidated for a dwelling, and was then allowed to go, quietly and undisturbed, to decay. The next house was not commenced, until war times. It was begun by James Gilland, and was finished by William G. Phares, in 1861-62. It is still standing opposite the post-office, and is used as a dwelling. Another small dwelling was soon after put up by Daniel Hoyt, Mr. Phares' son-in-law.

FIRST CHURCH OF
THE UNITED BRETHREN IN CHRIST
OF COHOCTAH

The present membership is 47, the class-leader is Cyrus G. Haynes, and the steward is James Gilland.

A Sabbath-school was organized in connection with this church in the summer of 1864, with Cyrus G. Hayner as superintendent. With the exception of three years, when he was living elsewhere, Mr. Hayner has been the superintendent of the school, and is the present incumbent of the office. The present membership is about 60 and the average attendance over 50. The other officers are as follows: Assistant Superintendent, Alonzo Gleason; Secretary, Ellery Gleason; Treasurer, Miss Clara Gilland; Collectors, Cora Meier and Charlie Johnson.
