The Minonk Methodist church in the early days of its history formed a part of Reading circuit. It had then but few members and when visited by the circuit preachers held its services in private houses or in the district schoolhouse. In the year 1864, it was set off by itself and during the following year was supplied by Rev. W. D. H. Young, then a student of Illinois Wesleyan University.
In the fall of 1865, Rev. J. C. Hartzell, then a student, now bishop to Africa, became pastor of the charge. For most of the year he preached on each alternate Sabbath at 3 p.m. in the Baptist church; but in August 1866 the present Methodist church, which together with the lot and furnishings had cost about $4,000, was dedicated. Rev. Hartzell continued as pastor the next year and left the church well organized and with a membership of ninety.

Died at Ipava, Fulton county, March 19, of consumption, Joseph W., aged 28 years, son of Dr. T. L. Falkner, formerly of this city.
A telegram to O. H. Tyler, Tuesday morning, gave the sad news of the death of Joseph W. Falkner - another victim to consumption. He has been ailing all winter, staying at his father's, at Ipava, Fulton county, where he died. Mr. Falkner was a young man of uncommon promise; he was a student, and for some years had taught school; he was also licensed to preach by the M. E. church, and eventually undoubtedly would have gone into the ministry. He bore an excellent character, had a genial, sunny disposition, was very companionable, and made friends with all whom he met. His loss will be deeply deplored. The remains arrived at Henry last night, and the funeral solemnities will take place at the M. E. church this afternoon at two o'clock. The deceased, before his death, desired the obsequies to be conducted by Rev. Mr. Cummings of Hennepin, a favorite minister, who will be present and officiate. The body will be interred in our cemetery, in a family lot beside a mother and sister, who died several years ago.
