Big Lick Church was a constituent of the Concord Association and was organized Aug. 24, 1822, under an arbor, one mile north of where the present church now stands. John B. Longan and Jacob Chism com- posed the council. There were sixteen in the original membership. John HISTORY OF COOPER COUNTY 267 B. Longan (822-845), Tyre C. Harris (1845-1851) were followed as pastors by Robert H. Harris, D. G. Tutt, J.' B. Box, J. D. Murphy and J. S. Palmer. In 1847, the membership was 350. Pisgah Baptist Church was organized at a meeting held at the resi- dence of Lewis Shelton on June 19, 1819, with the following charter mem- bers: The Rev. William Jennings, Rev. Jacob Chism, Priseilla Chism, David Jones, Tabitha Jones, James Maxey, William Howard, Leven Savage, Pollie Savage, Joseph McClure, Elizabeth McClure, John Bivian, Mary Bivian, Rhoda Stephens, Isabella Pontan, Sarah Woods, the Rev. John B. Longan, John Apperson, Sela Apperson, Jesse Martin, Mary Martin and Pollie Longan. The first meeting house was erected not long after the congregation had effected an organization and was situated at a point a half mile east of the present edifice. This somewhat primitive church building was in time supplanted by a brick building, which in 1871 gave way to the much larger frame building which has since then supplied the needs of the congregation. Mrs. Jane York, who died on March 15, 1919, joined this church in 1849 and at the time of her death was the oldest continuous member of the church, her connection with the same having covered the long span of 70 years.
The church to be known as Mt. Pisgah was organized June 19,1819, at the home of Lewis Shelton in Cooper county, Missouri Territory, by John B. Longan, Win. Jennings and Jacob Chism, with the following twenty-one charter members: John B. Longan, Wm. Jennings, Jacob Chism, Priscilla Chism, etc

"There was also lawsuit amongst the CHISM siblings upon the death of Jacob Chism in an effort to partition the family's slaves in 1858. This resulted in the slaves being sold at a public auction, on the 2nd Monday of April 1858." MOCOOPER-D Digest V00 Issue #153
