Excerpt from History of the Miami Baptist Association: From Its Organization in 1797 to a Division in That Body on Missions, Etc;, In the Year 1836; With Short Sketches of Deceased Pastors of This First Association in Ohio; Prepared, at Request of the Association, at Their Session at Lebanon, Oct, 1855
At the seventieth anniversary of the Miami Baptist Association, held with the Mt. Auburn Church, September 30, 1868, Messrs. George E. Stevens, John H. Tangeman, and George F. Davis were appointed a committee to provide for the publication of "Dunlevy's History of the Association," the manuscript of which had been placed by the Author at the disposal of the Association. The committee desire, at the conclusion of their task, to express their sense of the high value of this contribution to Baptist historical literature. Its author, though laboring under the infirmities of age, devoted to it much time and toil, seizing the precious moments when many important facts could be verified by living witnesses. It was a generous gift to the Association with which he has been so long identified.
The list of the Associations in Ohio, in 1867, with names of their constituent churches, will indicate the wonderful progress which has been made in seventy years. The list is inserted in the form of an Appendix - the body of the work having been written in 1857.
