Elizabeth Tyron Sadler started the Methodist Episcopal
Church in North Dover Township in June 1827, on land
owned by her father-in-law Christopher Sadler. Charter
members were the Rev. Eliphalet and Mrs. Margaret
Johnson and their daughter Rebecca, along with niece
Catherine Porter Foote. Elizabeth and William Sadler
donated the land and much of the material needed to build a new wood-
frame church here in 1841. The still-growing congregation built a brick
church in 1908 and added a new sanctuary in 1955. Taking the name
Bay United Methodist Church in 1968, the church has remained a center
of community life and faith continuously since 1827. Family names
associated with the church’s early decades include Aldrich. Cahoon,
Drake, Foote, Osborn, Powell, Sadler, Tuttle, and Wolf.Erected 2018 by Bay United Methodist Church, Bay Village Historical Society, and The Ohio History Connection. (Marker Number 135-18.)
