The first was a log cabin several hundred yards west near the old cemetery in which lies Maj. Nathaniel Durkee, hero of the Revolutionary Battle of Kettle Creek. Lorenzo Dow noted Methodist preacher, once spoke here. Laid in & about this Church are many scenes in “The Circuit Rider’s Wife” by Corra Harris, wife of Rev. Lundy Harris, who was preacher here in 1887 when he married.
