Salisbury Post newspaper had an article by Linda Beck which was very helpful.
THE BECK COLUMN: THE OLD CHURCH. 5 March 2012
On her visits to the church, she spoke with then resident of 1210 Gheen Road, Norman Blackwell. The church was apparently moved plank by plank on wagons from earlier location. It was originally built by several of the men: Will Blackwell, Henry Blackwell, Monroe Blackwell, George Blackwell, Dave Wilson, John Wilson, Sampson Carson, Mitchell Carson, Jim Carson, Sandy Johnson, Thomas Kent, James Jackson and Thomas Jackson.
The side windows were edged with stained glass, and there is dignity & beauty in the design.
The church was used possibly as late as 1996.
Second Creek Church Road is used as address in some places, but may not be found on GPS. The 1210 Gheen Rd.house is abandoned and actually is in front of the cemetery.
