Church and Country Store


This is the church that Grandpa's paternal grandmother attended. This church was founded in 1886 and is called Cannon Baptist Church. Grandpa says that the entrance and steps were added onto the building and does not recall them as a child. He said he would go there with Granny Picklesimer and his cousins.

 He remembers as a teenager, attending 'retreats' where a bunch of youth would gather here and hang out and try to be taught things concerning the Bible. Grandpa said he would go only because he would get bored with nothing to do in the hollows!


This store above, was owned by Grandpa's great uncle. The side was orignally apart of the store and not a garage. Presently, this is an abandoned shop off the side of the road.
