Virginia,
Thank you so much for the update on North Church. I honestly didn't
know what had happened to it and am delighted to hear it was salvaged
:-) Are G.C and Hazel Lee related to Grover Lee?
You know, there is a historical marker down at the end of the road (on
the Lakeland Highway). I don't remember what the marker says but seem
to recall something about the Sirmans families. I think I have a photo
of that marker someplace around here. Let me look and see; it may have
some reference to the cemetery and the church :-) If not, I'll drive
over there tomorrow and see what it says.
Thanks again for letting us know what became of the little church. I
called several of my aunts last night, but they had no clue as to what
had happened to it.
Regards,
Nancy
