In 1911 a new brick church was built with the aid of the members and the financial part by Rev. Francis J. Murdoch’s wife and the late Miss Daisy Murdoch which was Dr. Murdoch’s sister. Dr. Murdoch had hoped to live to see the new brick church completed, however, following his death, his wife and sister completed the church.
