This is what the 1984 history of Callaway County says about Dry Fork, (written by Kathyrn Holt)

"Dry Fork is located two and one half miles north and west of Guthrie, Missouri. Its members and friends can be both pleased and proud of the beauty and convenience of the church building.
Dry Fork was organized in 1847 and has been a leader in Christian fellowship for the surrounding community. Much is due to the deep religious conviction of both pastors and lay people who have served since the church was first organized."
