Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual of the First Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis: Together With a History of the Same, From Its Organization in July, 1823, to November 12, 1876
Mr. Gaines appears to have spent but one Sabbath with the infant settlement, and the next ministerial visitor was Rev. David C. Proctor, who came in May7 1822, as a Missionary of the Connecticut Missionary Society. He spent one week here, preaching several times, and so far to general acceptance, that measures were taken to secure his services for one-half the time, from the first of October following. During this inter val, Rev. Isaac Reed, a Missionary under the Presby terian Board of Missions, visited the locality and preached on several occasions. He was a man of very moderate abilities, but of commendable zeal and in dustry in the Master's work. He was much addicted to publishing narratives of his tours and other autobi ographical matter, and left two or three small volumes of such literature.
