Congrats MTgirl nice shot ...LIlly cool church..Tell us about it
Les,
This church was built by Mr Lilly's GGG Grandfather, and several brothers, and cousins along with others from the community. He donated the land for the church, and cut all the wood to build it on his saw mill. They'd just arrived from South Carolina and the church is one of the first things they did as a community. I love this old church, it's got such charactor. Sitting in there on Sunday morning.....lookin up at the ceiling, you can see hand prints of all the men that worked on it. Either the oil from their hands, or the pine rausen (sp) at the time made their hand prints show up years later. It was built in 1850.
The picture that bighorn entered could almost be the outside of this church I posted, minus the copula(sp) and window lights above the doors.
