CHURCHES:
FEMME OSAGE (CHARETTE)
Organized in 1812-1814. Flanders and Jemima Boone Callaway (son-in-law and daughter of Daniel Boone) were charter members, and meetings were probably held in their home, the home where Daniel Boone died. Femme Osage Church first joined the Illinois Association in 1814. Then helped organize the Missouri Association in 1817. In 1822, Femme Osage, St. Charles, and Upper Cuivre Creek churches were dismissed from the Missouri Association, to go into the constitution of the Cuivre-Siloam Association. Elder Bethuel Riggs (uncle of Elder Wilson Thompson) was a member of this church in 1820.
