Excerpts
from writings in the 1880's
about
churches and their leaders in Kentucky
can
be viewed below:
"CHARLES
H. STUTEVILLE was a member of Rock Creek Church as early as 1817,
and was ordained to the ministry, the following year. In
1818, Rock Creek church took a letter of dismission, and joined
Goshen Association. In this body, Mr. Stuteville was pastor of
Rock Creek, Bacon Creek and, perhaps, Concord churches, till
1839. At this date, Rock Creek broke off from Goshen
Association, and united with a new fraternity, styling it as
Otter Creek Association of Regular Baptists. By this means, Mr.
Stuteville became identified with the new organization, and its
meetings, till 1842. He lost his eye sight about this time, but
continued to preach several years longer, when the Lord was
pleased to call him from a land of darkness to the Home of Light. He
was reckoned a fair preacher, sound in the faith of the gospel, and
of
an unblemished reputation."
