Sam
Hughes, Troy Vaughn's nephew-in-law, took these photos
in 1974.
The
building was seriously deteriorated at that
time. The roof
collapsed
in a 17 inch snow fall some years after this, about
1978, I
think. Sam's hobby is photography so the photos
are very
good!

This view is up on
the hill behind the church on
Troy Vaughn's side of the fence. Note the large
elm on the fence
line.

This
is a shot of the interior, from the left corner beside
the pulpit,
looking toward the back. There's a
good view of the roof structure and bracing and the
rail-road tie
seats. The building was deteriorating by that
time. You can
see gaps in the sides of the building.

Here is a closer
view of the back wall and
bracing for the roof, and
the rail-road tie seats. One of the ties toward
the back had
begun to split up.

View of the
pulpit
and front wall and entryway. In the 1972
pictures, you can
see the front from the outside.

This
is
how the church site looks today.
The view is from up on the hill, which would be behind
where the church
building was. Looking toward the cemetery.
You can see my
shadow in the right fore-ground.
