From Goodspeed's History of Dyer County, Tennessee, 1887

A small frame church, built in about 1830 by the Baptists, Methodists and Cumberland Presbyterians, at what is now the village of Ro-Ellen, in the Seventh Civil District, was probably the first church house erected in Dyer County. Previous to the erection of the church the above denominations were organized, and for two or three years held regular services at the houses of the members, but they were not sufficiently strong to erect separate church houses, so they combined and built the Ro-Ellen church and named it Old Union. Subsequently the property passed into the hands of the Cumberland Presbyterians alone, and a new house was erected. In about 1845 the Christians or Campbellites, effected an organization, and two years later erected their first church in the county in the Second Civil District, which they named Miller's Chapel. From the third or fourth year of the town's existence there have been religious organization in Dyersburg, all of which held services in the court house until sufficiently strong to erect churches; the first church erected was the Methodist, a frame, which was completed in 1844, and stood until the completion of the present frame building, in 1868. In 1858 the Cumberland Presbyterians and the Odd Fellows fraternity united and erected a frame church and lodge hall combined, which is in use at the present time. The Baptists erected a frame church in 1873, which they still use. The Christians have an organization in Dyersburg but no church building; they, together with the Y.M.C.A., hold services in the lower story of the Masonic building, which was erected in 1848. In 1867 the Baptists of Newbern erected a frame church, and in 1874 the Methodists and Cumberland Presbyterians each erected brick churches, while in 1879 the Christians of that town erected a brick church. At Finley the Christians have a good church; at Trimble, the Methodists and Baptists have churches, the former a brick and the latter frame, and at Fowlkes the Methodists have a frame church. The other churches of the county are as follows: First District, Bowen's Chapel, Cumberland Presbyterians.
