St. Luke's Anglican Church being painted in 1964  (Kearney, Ontario)

St. Luke's Anglican Church (Kearney, Ont.) was built in 1901 on land donated by Bert French, the son of Canon W. H. French. The church was consecrated by Bishop Thorneloe on December 10, 1901. The first incumbent was Rev. A. H. Allman and the first wardens were Ed Malkin and Robert Rankin, who were chosen in 1900, the same year the congregation was organized. It should also be noted that the Kearney congregation was part of the Emsdale parish.

The stonework on the church was done by John Locke of Novar and the altar was made in Burks Falls by the Knight Brothers Co. Original lighting for the church was supplied by Mr. and Mrs. J. Shaw by running a gas pipe from their home next door. The first Sunday school was organized by Florence Emes in 1901. The first wedding held at St. Luke's Anglican was between Miss Melita Mann, later a famous Canadian artist, and Robert Aitken.
