The historic Eaton Center Church stands southeast of Charlotte. The historical marker next to it gives some fascinating history. It reads:
On November 30, 1878, the local Methodist class purchased land for a church from Benjamin and Catherine Spotts for twenty-five dollars. Church men cut and hewed the logs for the building. The Reverend B. E. Paddock dedicated the church on November 10, 1881. Luren D. Dickinson, governor of Michigan from 1939 to 1940, taught Sunday school here both before and during his tenure as governor. From 1918 to 1955 the church sponsored Lulu Tubbs, a missionary in Southern Rhodesia, which became Zimbabwe.
