I was
in Indiana last weekend "trying out." That part of Indiana has small
churches of Christ all around it. One of
the local families was taking us around the countryside showing us the lay of
the land. They pulled up to this now
defunct church building and began telling us about its demise over 80 years
earlier. The people directly involved are now dead. Most of them are buried in the cemetery across
the road due west of the church building. What I am sharing below is taken from
part of their family history. (An
unpublished manuscript.) I have not
edited it in any way except that I have added current pics of the two buildings
of the little churches involved. And a few labeled comments below…
This is
not a great doctrinal treatise but how it was remembered in later years by a
nine year old child…
Bethany Church of Christ
