The date of its constitution or exact location of its meetings have not yet been ascertained. In 1875 Elder Jaillite was living at Indianola; and Elder T. D. Kearney, of Adelphi, Iowa, was also a member of this church at that time. After Harmony Church dissolved, Elder Jaillite united with Ebenezer Church in Mahaska County, Iowa.
