Bazaar Methodist Church

Marker stone in front of the Bazaar United Methodist Church, Bazaar, KS. Photo taken in 2005 during a visit to Bazaar and the Bazaar Cemetery to photograph landmarks and the family headstones. The Evans and Chesney families lived in Chase County in the vicinity of Bazaar. They were staunch Methodists, and while they did not attend church in this particular building (it was built in 1908), they probably did attend and even began the Methodist church in town. That site is now a vacant lot, but there is a marker where the original church attended by the Chesneys and Evans once stood.
