Congregational Church, Waite, ca. 1930

Contributed by Penobscot Marine Museum

Description

The Congregational Church of Waite and Talmadge was built in 1902. Credit is given to C. H. McElhiney, a pastor of the Princeton Congregational Church, for encouraging the effort. A meeting was called July 2, 1902.

During the building period Frank Neal acted as treasurer and also hauled most of the lumber used in construction.

Services are still held in the church from time to time, as pastors are available to come and preach.

The small towns of Waite and Talmadge shared not only a church but also a cemetery in Talmadge on land purchased in 1856 by the Ladies Aid Sewing Society of Waite and Talmadge. They also share a post office and zip code.
