General note
The earliest journal in our files is from 1908, which specifies it was the sixty-fourth session. Five churches reported at this session. No later journals for Illinois exist in our files until 1949, when it was reestablished as the Illinois Mission Conference. The Illinois Conference was listed as a separate entity in the 1923 Discipline. But in 1927, the Discipline specified that northern Illinois churches belonged to Iowa and southern Illinois churches belonged to Kentucky. In 1931, the Discipline specified southern Illinois churches as part of the Indiana Conference, and northern Illinois churches as part of the Iowa Conference. At the 1949 session of the Iowa Conference, churches in Illinois were legally separated and formed into the Illinois Mission Conference of the WMC. Thus, the two dates for the beginning of the Illinois conference. The new Illinois Conference continued until the 1968 merger.
