A image of Oakdale United Methodist Church, taken from the church's website, as it stands today
This is a quick easy blog to write. It is almost all scans of work done by others. I want to thank all those who have helped in one way or another with helping me obtain all of this information. For Karen Sunderman, I will be checking to see where Tom stands with getting a hold of Jennifer Rayle again soon. Karen, the provider of most of this information, sent me a giant package through the mail out of the goodness of her own heart. Thank you again, Karen for your help. To find out more on the Oakdale United Methodist Church, I suggest you contact the Church itself:

A quick funny story Tom told me about obtaining this picture. Tom said one time he was down visiting our cousin, Joy Rayle in Deshler. She insisted he go find the original Oakdale Church. Tom said after an afternoon driving around the open county side of Henry County and with the help of a number of locals, he was able to find the Old Church. Today is stands as part of an old barn.
