Bachmans Mennonite Church (Lost River, West Virginia, USA)
Bachmans (or Baughmans) Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), Virginia Conference, now extinct, was located at Lost River, Hardy County, West Virginia. A meetinghouse was built here about 1890, Mennonite services having been held in the area for some time. Services were held there regularly until 1910 or 1920 and then intermittently for a number of years. The decline was caused by most of the members moving to other places, particularly the Crest Hill Church near Wardersville, West Virginia.
