McColl came from a Scottish Episcopal background, while his wife had been a member of the Methodist Society in New York. In Saint Stephen, the McColls invited people to their home for prayer and Bible study. By 1790, the growing group was so large that a meeting house was built. Duncan was ordained a Methodist minister in 1795. He served the area's circuit until 1829 and died the following year. New, larger churches were built in 1816 and 1870 by which time the congregation was well over a thousand. In 1925 the congregation joined the United Church of Canada as the McColl United Church. Although the Methodist congregation was active from 1785 onward, the earliest burial register begins in 1807. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ A Presbyterian church was organized in Saint Stephen in 1834. In 1925, they joined the newly formed United Church of Canada. The two United Church congregations (formerly Methodist and Episcopal) remained separate until 1944 when they merged to become the Kirk-McColl United Church. They worshipped in the former McColl church until it was destroyed by fire in 1980. A new church was dedicated in 1982. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ Cemetery disposition: Inactive. The burial register indicates the presence of many more burials than are accounted for by the 27 remaining markers, which are relegated to the southwest section of the property adjacent the parking lot. Those buried in the cemetery were not only from Saint Stephen, but also from surrounding communities, including Calais, Maine, across the river.
