History
[edit]In the year 1857, Elder Benedict Weyeneth came to the Roanoke area, referred to by many as the "Prairie". Weyeneth chose to settle near Roanoke because he learned a new railroad was to be built through the area. He felt this would increase the population in the area and that spiritual opportunity would also grow.
