‘Organized in 1864 by JGL Davis and a small group of charter members, the church has served its rural community for well over a century. The property, acquired in 1883, has been the site of several churches, the last constructed in 1954. The adjacent Pine Hill Cemetery contains over 125 marked and unmarked graces from at least 1873 at the earliest documented.” according to its historical marker. By 2022, 298 graves had been documented.
