Joyce - this photo is of the former Baptist Church near Sullivanville.
This Church was originally located on the East Sullivanville Road.
It was moved using horses and logs to this location on what was once old
Route 13N. It was moved in the late 1800's. It was then used
an a general store for years. This was called Wilkins Store and it
closed in the late 1950's. Alva D. and Nellie TOBEY Wilkins from
Caton, NY purchased the store in 1935. He died in 1941, she in 1966.
They carried a little bit of everything, groceries, feed, coal, etc. and
the store was a meeting place for the townsfolks at times too. The
store is still standing in Sullivanville but is much neglected. I
am trying to find more of the history of the Church and will send what
I find later on. Tim |
