                         OSCODA INDIAN MISSION
       "About twelve miles northwest of Oscoda is a settlement of 
    Indians who came from the Indian town Saganing, near Bay City.
    Some of them were formerly members of the M. E. Church at
    Saganing, and when they came to this section brought church
    letters with them.  Others have since united with the church.
    They were visited by the pastor of the Oscoda M. E. Church in
    the Winter of 1878, and organized into a 'class,' and arrange-
    ments were made for meetings conducted by themselves.  They have
    since, by the help of the people in Oscoda, built a little church
    was was visited in the Winter of 1879, by many friends from Oscoda
    and Au Sable, and by Mrs. SAGATOO, a white lady of culture, an
    Indian missionary and the wife of a Christian Indian, and was
    dedicated to the service of God free from debt.  The little church
    and its members are under the patronage of the Oscoda charge, which
    encourages and helps and visits them as necessity requires or 
    occasion offers.  On the 2d of September they were visited by Rev.
    A. R. BARTLETT, the presiding elder, and others, and organized into
    a distinct charge, to be called the Oscoda Indian Mission.
