Collins, Lena Collins, L. S. Galyens, Litha Collins, and Mary P. Collins. The church met at the homes of its members for many years. Part of the time, in later years, meetings were held in the home of Brother and Sister Walter Gilbert, near Olathe. The church then purchased a meeting house in the town of Delta, Colorado.
