the information concerning Tunnel Hill churches.
In 1894 the trustees of the Methodist church listed as W. H.
Foster, I. H.
Harlan, C. P. N. Harris, J. L. Heggie and T. Jeff Smith, gave a deed to the F. &
A. Masons, and in this transaction they refer to the original deed as having
been made in 1858, naming Clisbe Austin as the original trustee.
This brick building which was built by Mr. Austin was used for
stables by
Federal troops during the War. The store building of Major Guthrie and the home
of W. H. Foster were used as hospitals for the ill and wounded. Dr. Wyble was
the physician in charge.
Early members of this church were Dr. and Mrs. Emerson, Mr. and
Mrs. Dave
Morelock, Mr. and Mrs. James Ault, Mrs. Judith Hardy, Mrs. W. H. Foster, Mr. and
Mrs. Bearden, Emma and Tina Rogers and Joseph Rogers.
