These men lived nearer Limestone and had been ordained at Knob Creek. The first meetings were held in an abandoned school building. This property was purchased in 1851 and a small brick church built. The present church building was erected in 1884 and still serves the congregation. J.B. Pence was elected the first minister, having paid $500.00 to avoid military service. Mathias Nead was ordained August 25, 1900 with C.H. Diehl and J.B. Bowman officiating. P.D. Reed, Abe Nead, Daniel Brubecker, D.B. Klepper and Jacob Nead were other who served the Limestone Church.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #af0000;font-size: small\">Cemetery<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Information about the church cemetery is in the\u00a0<a title=\"LIMESTONE-GRACE CHURCHES OF THE BRETHREN CEMETERY\" href=\"https:\/\/tngenweb.org\/washington\/records-data\/cemeteries\/cemeteries-of-washington-county-tennessee\/cemeteries-of-washington-county-tennessee-l-m-n\/limestone-grace-churches-of-the-brethren-cemetery-2\/\">Cemetery Section<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small\">Reference:\u00a0<em>History of Washington County, Tennessee, 1988<\/em>, Watauga Association of Genealogists, 1988, p.73.
