| Shiloh Methodist Church, Tattnall County, Georgia, USA |
While looking for my friend Madeline's obituary in my archives I stumbled on the snip below of my grandfathers grave in Georgia. He and many members of our family are buried at this small church, still standing, still people using the cemetery. My Dad's family lived in the home you saw last month on the edge of the railroad tracks in Manassas, GA .
The Shiloh Church is just a few minutes drive from the home he was raised in.
I found my way to the sight of Historic Rural Churches. I spent a lot of time browsing and found below info on that sight. I could spend days just looking at the churches from the past.
Shiloh Methodist is the second oldest church in Tattnall County, the oldest being Mt. Carmel, a meeting house of peeled pine logs eighteen feet by twenty feet erected in 1808. While the exact organization date of Shiloh is uncertain, according to a local county history, it occurred either in 1810 or 1812. this info is from Historic Rustic Churches and is in Reidsville, Georgia. this is HRCGA dedicated https://www.hrcga.org/church/shiloh-methodist/ (info above and photo from link provided)
Snips of my great grandfathers headstone, he was my dad's, dad and the is the LINK to My Paternal Grandparents and some of the McCall's buried there. So much info there to go from link to link.
I am posting this to store the links for myself. In the link below I found death certificates, obituaries and much information that I never knew.
If you go to https://www.findagrave.com/ you might find information on your family also. I intend to research more and add to this for my own info storage.
Photos from links above. let me know if you find any of your family churches and graves that you never knew were there.
