'']] Kent County, located in southern [[Michigan (State)|Michigan]] and including the city of Grand Rapids, has been the seat of two Mennonite (MC) churches -- [[Caledonia Mennonite Church (Kent County, Michigan, USA)|Caledonia]] and [[Bowne Mennonite Church (Clarksville, Michigan, USA)|Bowne]]. The Caledonia settlement was located some 12 miles (20 km) west of the Bowne settlement. The first settlers in the Caledonia area came in 1864. Those locating at Caledonia came partly from [[Ontario (Canada)|Ontario]], and partly from such states as [[Indiana (USA)|Indiana]], [[Ohio (State)|Ohio]], and [[Pennsylvania (USA)|Pennsylvania]]. The first meetinghouse was erected in 1865 and replaced by another in 1881; the latter burned down in 1923. Only the [[Cemeteries|cemetery]] remained to mark the location of the building. The congregation seemed to prosper at first, there being 40 members at Caledonia by 1867. But internal differences over religious practice led to the weakening of the congregation and its ultimate closure by1910. The Bowne settlers in Kent County in 1865 came from Somerset County, Pennsylvania and from Ontario. The first meetinghouse was a log structure and was erected jointly by the [[Church of the Brethren|Church of the Brethren]] and the Mennonites ([[Mennonite Church (MC)|Mennonite Church]]) about 1870, being used for seven years on alternate Sundays by the two groups, after which the Brethren built their own separate house of worship. In 1957, the Bowne congregation (also called Elmdale) worshiped in a building erected in 1901. At that time the membership of the congregation was 104.
