In the summer of 1876 the Methodist Church decided to build a Brush arbor and hold a revival meeting under the oaks south west of the present building.  During this meeting the few people who lived here decided they needed a school, graveyard, and church.  Since at that time there was no lumber here, one man got up and told the crowd he would give all the logs.  This man was Mr. David Spence, long since dead.  Another got up and said he would give a deed to the land on condition that the graveyard should always be a free burying yard that the house should be free to all denominations.  Should have equal rights.  This man was John Henry Onstott.  He said he did not belong to any church, however, he was wealthy and long since dead.  In September 1876 the men got together and had the lot for the house and graveyard surveyed, and got busy cutting logs and dragging logs with steers and they soon had the church built with dirt floor and elm logs split open for seats.

In January 1877 they started school in the church.  When school was took up there was only two graves in the grave yard.  I had the pleasure of being at both of the burrings, one grown person and one baby.

The school was moved in 1894.  My dad, E. R. Killaug, born in 1870, got his schooling here.
