Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the First Methodist Episcopal Church: Of Olney, Illinois, 1841-1909 In 1855 Rev. J. T. Johnson was pastor and Rev. Norman Allen, presiding elder. This was a prosperous year. During the winter a protracted meeting was held in the courthouse by Rev. Johnson, assisted by Rev. John Seed, of Lawrenceville, which was prolonged for many days, and was far-reaching in its results. There were many conversions and additions of those who became life-long workers for the interests of the church, and many years afterwards the revival at the courthouse was spoken of by those who dated their experience of conversion and the beginning of a new life from that happy time.
