From 1895 History of Butler County Pennsylvania:
White Oak Springs United Presbyterian Churc was organized in 1818 by Rev. Isaiah NIBLOCK, of Butler,
and Elders Thomas DODDS, Hugh McKEE and George MATTHEWS, with a few followers of the church residing
in that district, and several seceders from Mt. Nebo Presbyterian church, making, in all, sixteen
members. From 1818 to the completion of a brick house in 1820, the members worshipped in a tent. In
1862, the old brick church was removed and the present building erected at a cost of about $3,500.
After Mr. NIBLOCK was released, in 1834, the pulpit was vacant until 1836, when Rev. William FINDLEY
was called. In 1853 or 1854, Rev. Thomas DRENNEN came and preached here until his death. In 1858,
Rev. W. H. JAMISON accepted a call, and remained until 1879. Rev. T. W. YOUNG succeeded him and Rev.
J. B. BORLAND, the present pastor, followed Mr. YOUNG. There were 168 members reported in 1894, among
whom are many representatives of the pioneers who made its beginning in 1818, such as the DODDS,
MARTINS, MAHARGS, CRITCHLOWS, RICHARDSONS, BRYSONS, RAMSEYS, McKEES, ROSES. FULTONS, GILLILANDS,
McLAINS, McLEODS, STEVENSONS, FRAZIERS, WRIGHTS , JOHNSONS, MATTHEWS, and others. In the cemetery may
be found some old headstones such as those raised over Thomas McKINNEY, who died January 26, 1830;
John HAMBLE, April 25, 1833; Rachael MATTHEWS, July 9, 1832; Nancy MATTHEWS, January 1, 1832; John
GRAY, October 18,1839; Sarah Jane Balph, January 16, 1851, and Jane McGINNIS, January 15, 1844. The
society was incorporated November 21, 1883, Henry BRUNERMER, Willian SHORTS, John M. ROSE, I. N.
