Looking at history of Hickory Ridge Church and Union Church, names not
necessarily exact - Adams County. In 1903, apparently a portrait of
Alexander McClain, founder (or a founder), was dedicated in one of these
churches. I can't get an answer on the one phone number on yahoo yellow
pages. Does anyone know anything of these churches?
