Speaker. few areas of the country have as rich an historical heritage as the 24th District I am proud to represent. Perhaps even more than any history books. the old churches of the district reflect that heritage and stand as permanent monuments to the past. and one of those churches is the Jerusalem Welsh Congregational Church in Granville. That part of the district was extensively settled by Welsh immigrants. many of whom came here to work in the slate quarries. Few of their descendants speak Welsh any more. but the influence remains in the names of many Granvillearea residents. The sad part of the story Is that this church is now vacant. in need of repairs. and on the market.
