Donnelsville is situated on the National road, seven miles west of Springfield, and contains two churches. The Methodist Episcopal Church was formed of a class, that in 1819 met at the house of Leffel, the father of Jeremiah Leffel, who lived about two miles north of the village, to which it was removed about the time the town was laid out. The church building is of brick, substantial and commodious. Membership, seventy-five. The Lutheran Church was organized about 1830, and met for a number of years at the house of Jacob Sny der. Later, a house of worship was built and occupied on the Valley Pike, known as " Croft Church," on the farm of George Croft, who was the main instrument in its erection and support. A few years since, the interest was removed to Donnelsville, where a substantial and commodious house had been built for the accommodation of the congregation. - History of Clark County, Ohio, W.H.
