- Dalton, Jan. 1972. Pewter service that was used in the first communion service at the First Presbyterian Church which was organized in 1847. The service had been used in New England church and was given to an Indian mission in Brainerd, Tenn. operated by the New England Congregationalist Church. When the mission closed, the service was given to Ainsworth Emery Blunt, on of the missionaries there. In 1843 Blunt arrived in the community of Cross Plains, incorporated as Dalton in 1847, and had brought the service with him. Sometime after 1865, when it was no longer needed by the church, Blunt gave it to his daughter, Lillie. She later married Thomas Niles Kirby.
