Marvin methodist church

 Methodist preaching services had started at the log Stephenson School House in 1872. The first two Methodists in the neighborhood, Loyd K. Rone and John Brown Squires, founded Marvin Methodist Church, South in 1875 – Rone donated the land and bricks; Squires provided the wood. The church was called Rone’s Chapel when it opened in the summer of 1875 but took the name of Most Rev. Enoch Mather Marvin, a Confederate chaplain and Methodist bishop, at its dedication in October. A school was built next to the church by 1882.
