The congregation was first organized
as the Mount Carmel church around 1840. When the church and parsonage
burned down in 1879, the church relocated. The lot had been purchased
by M.J. Cunningham for $150 from the William A. Thorpe estate in 1873.
It was donated to the church. The secretary, gavel, and songbooks
survived the fire and were brought to the new church, which was now called
the Keatchie Methodist Episcopal Church, South. .
The first pastor was Rev.
J.M. Liverman. Services were held the first Sunday of the month at
the Methodist church. Services were held at the Baptist church
on the second and fourth Sundays and at the Presbyterian church on the
third Sundays. |
