From The Witness in 1884, "Desoronto (sic) is a small town, 18 miles east of Belleville. During the winter months, large meetings had been held in a public hall, conducted by A.S. Rolph, assisted by a young brother. Quite a few made a profession of conversion, amongst whom were about a dozen Mohawk Indians. A little assembly of over 20 had been gathered out to the Lord, and as the summer season came round the Gospel was proclaimed in a tent for some time. Some professed conversion, and the work has been followed up by A. Rolph and his brother Raymond, who for a number of years was Secretary to the Y.M.C.A. at Ottawa."
It is presently unknown the tenure of this assembly, although it has been noted by a brother (Reg Badgley) at the Deseronto Gospel Hall, ON that was started when the Wager family was saved thru itinerants in 1898, that there have been a great number of native children who have been involved in the Sunday School, as well as a couple native families who were in fellowship there in the 1940's."
