| The Scot
immigrants who came into Delaware county brought
with them the bias in behalf of the schools and
churches which they had enjoyed in their old
home. Their first effort was always to establish
a school where their children could receive the
elementary and useful education of which they
knew so well the value. Next to schools they
invariably sought to establish churches for
themselves and their families. Relative to the
Peters family, this is the church where William
B. Peters and Hannah (Rich) were united in
marriage as were so many of the early families.
Often life-long members, they were baptized here,
regularly worshiped and were laid to rest in the
old cemetery's churchyard known as South
Kortright Cemetery.
It is
believed that the building no longer functions as
a church, but rather as a community center.
