""This church sprang out of a Union Sabbath-school, which was in charge of Dr. Thomas H. Logan and G.L. Crammer, established in 1854. Daniel Zane, Esq., donated the lot for a church, on which was originally erected a plain frame building. Through the instrumentality of Deacon E.J. Stone, a member of the Methodist denomination, and a number of the members of that denomination, a church was organized under the above name. Its growth was permanent and now has proven to be a successful and prosperous organization. In the course of a few years the old frame church gave place to a large and substandard brick edifice." Cranmer (1902), p 278.
Named in honor of Bishop Edward Thomson who died in Wheeling in 1870. The building now (2008) is home of the New Life United Methodist Church. Schramm (2006)
In 2008 this is the New Life United Methodist Church - proclaimed with a plastic banner, suggesting a recent new name. The lack of the trees along the sidewalk makes the modern scene harsher than shown in the postcard. Similarly, the white paint on the front of the church and along the horizontal ledge gave the early version of the church a more pleasing look.
