So, in the spring of 1870 a Dominie Bolks oi New York came here and he with Dr. Van Raalte organized a church at Amelia and also one at Mattoax. I do not know much about the one at Amelia, but at Mattoax the following Elders and Deacons were elected and installed. Elders Henry De Vries, M. Hulsabos, Jan Geerlings, and M. Zuidema (my father). Deacons Gradus Van der Riet, Klaas Bultje, Teunis De Vries and Pieter Van Dyke. Besides these men and their families there were Henry Maarten, C. Blink, G. Koster, M. Pluimer, Mr. Mykamp, J. Donkers, T. Leistra, Baker Van der Riet, Mr. Bodewyk, H. Koert, Mr. Wierenga, and Mr. Biefsma. There were more but I do not recall their names. Now soon after the organizing of the church & installation of its officers, they got busy building a house of worship. First one hewn of wood, not fancy to be sure, but large enough and warm. It served the purpose of church service and school.
