FALLING SPRING PRESBYTERIAN GRAVEYARD
Chambersburg, Penna.
pg. 244

     The "Falling Spring: was the name given by pioneer Benjamin Chambers, to the place of his settlement, at the Confluence of the large spring, with the Conococheague Creek.  Col. Chambers, himself a Presbyterian, made an early appropriation of some suitable ground for a GRAVEYARD SCHOOL HOUSE and PLACE of Cedar Grove on the bank of the creek, on which the present church stands.  In this grove, and near the spot which the present church occupies, there was erected a small log building, which was used for the double purpose of a school house and place of worship, and which Records of Presbytery show to have been in the year 1739.  It was of logs, which door on eastern and southern sides, and lighted by long narrow windows the width of two small panes of glass.  When this building was not of sufficient capacity for all who wished to worship in it, the congregation abandoned it for the time in favour of the saw-mill of Col. Chambers, which stood on the bank of the creek, on what was known as "The Island" surrounded by a lovely green plot.  On that grassy space the gathered crowd seated themselves and received with interest and eagerness the messages of God from his commissioned ambassador.
