In 1808 a meeting house was build west of Palmyra. Membership grew and many felt hardship of travelling to Palmyra. In 1832, forty two members broke to form a group in Palmyra (which is the Baptist church on the four corners in Palmyra), and a second church, Second Baptist Church of Walworth. In 1835, the above church and property became First Baptist Church and Society of Macedon. The church building was taken down and relocated to the Village of Macedon where it stands and is used today. The rededication took place January 1, 1836.
What is unusual is in looking at the beams in the attic, they found that each one is numbered for when the church was moved in 1835.

Blend butter, sugar, spices and salt. Beat egg yolks and add. Sift in baking powder and flour, then add the water and honey. Put fruit and nuts thru food chopper and flour well. Follow Solomon's advice for making good boys-1st clause of Proverbs, 23:14. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake for 1 hour in 375 degree oven.
NOTE: I bake in a round tube pan, but you can use a round or square pan, just check on baking time. Also, the cake is very rich and doesn't need frosting, but I do sprinkle confections sugar on top of it.
