Anecdote*   William was an early member of Monmouth Church, but in 1867 he was the clerk for the Salem Church. Came to Oregon in 1852 wagon train.

Liberty
Before 1900, Liberty was a separate community south of Salem. C. F. Swander lists the church as reporting their presence first in 1882, but he did not know where the town was located. Key residents of Liberty were William Preston and Sarah Stanton Murphy. William was the farmer son of John Ecles and Frances Murphy, among the founders of Monmouth and its college. The younger Murphy's home was at Liberty and Skyline Roads and their several "fruit farms" were nearby. Since William "Pat" Murphy was the clerk of the Salem Church in 1867, we speculate they decided to start a church closer to home when they began farming here - hence the church reporting from Liberty in 1882.
We find it nothing short of incredible that the present Liberty Christian Church, established a few decades ago, is at the same location today.
