Following is a list of the members of the Church of Christ of Middleton from the church book. It appears that the compilor extracted the names from the church book, perhaps about the year 1915 or 1916, as the last entry is May of 1915. There are no deaths mentioned after this date. I have nothing further regarding the source other than the list was submitted to me by Janice Thomas. If you have further information regarding this list or the history of this church, please
