The church which once stood here was built in 1932 by the local people. It is no longer standing and must have collapsed during the past couple of winters. I last saw the church standing in 1995 but it was boarded up. The property for the church and cemetery was owned by William Smith. The graves can be found at the back of the property behind the former church.
