| This well composed Photo is present in many of the photo albums in the area. It was taken before the Sunday School Rooms (1945) or the front vestibule (1960s) were added. The horse barns were torn down in the 1930s. The presence of the basement under the church dates it as after 1917. The long gone Blacksmith Shop can be seen to the left of the church. The top of the hill, above the top hedgerow, is the edge of my property. [JMT] |
