Histories

Forest Chapel in Berks County, Pennsylvania, was erected by the Rev. William Demour, a Swedish minister. It is now St. Paul's Church, Geigertown; and the cornerstone date is 1773. The grave marker of Mr. Demour reads, "To the memory of Rev. William Demour who organized the first religious society at the Old Forest Church, now St. Paul's M.E. Church, about the year 1776. Died 1776." On March 17, 1780, the property on which Forest Chapel stood was sold by A.M. James and his wife, Mary, to a group of nine trustees, Evan Evans, Samuel Haw, Valentine Carberry, Abraham Luris, John Davis, Joseph Haw, Henry Carberry, John Galloway, and Thomas Rutter.
