METHODIST CHURCH RECORDS. MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston. People's
Temple. [CH-MA B6 P4] Founded by Bishop John W. Hamilton in 1877, as a continuation of the Church Street M.E. Church, a new, larger church was dedicated in 1884 at the corner of Columbus and Berkeley Streets, on the site of the present Salvation Army Headquarters. Merged with Bromfield-Tremont M.E. Church in 1922 to form United, later Copley M.E. Church. Tremont did not actually close until 1970, so Copley was directly a merger of Bromfield and People's Temple, but under the name of the Methodist Religious Society in Boston, which included Tremont. Records prior to 1877 are from Church Street M.E. Church, apparently copied into these record books. Some records appear in Copley recordbooks. Church Street records contain trustee and treasurer records from 1899-1908 concerning the People's Temple parsonage.
