the disciples in the vicinity of Augusta held their meetings in a
Manfull barn. In 1842, the old stone church was built. The floor was
built on an incline, which faced the pulpit and the entrance on the

The Augusta Society of Friends
A log meeting house was built in 1840-41 on land located about 3 miles
north of Augusta where Andora and Starling Road meet. It is on the
Columbiana County border, where Quaker Ridge Cemetary is located. Most
of the cemetary lies in Columbiana County, Section 34 of West Township.
Land was deeded in trust to Jonathon Dean, James McBride, Jabez Coulson
and Jeremiah McBride from James McCowen for one acre of land on December
12, 1818. A deed in trust for one acre of land from David and Ann
Haldeman was received on October 12, 1825, by the same committee
adjoining the land they previously received. The two acres were
transferred to trustees Taber Couldon , Mahlon Hole, James Chambers, and
David Halderman on October 27, 1840. Shortly before the first meeting
house was built. By 1876 a larger building was needed so a new brick
building was completed by February 20, 1877. For a time, the meetings
were well attended but by 1946, there were not enough members to keep
the building up, so it was decided to remove the building.
