Revival in Aroostook County – 1918-1920’s

Washburn Church 1918-1920?
As noted by the early entries in Milton’s journals, the Flewellings went to church frequently on Sunday. The reason is that a number of Milton Flewelling’s family members and friends left their mainline denominations to become part of a new revival movement, Pentecost. They often traveled to various churches in the area to gather with others following this new movement.- Mars Hill, Washburn, Woodstock are just a few of the places.

The Union Church sits up on a hill just above Milton Flewelling’s home and adjacent to his farm. In his later years, he was often seen in his strawberry field next to the church. (I remember the blackflies!)
