Ed:

I'm sending a photo of an early Barnett's Creek UM Church Homecoming that was taken (I'm guessing) at about 1930, when "dinner" was served on the ground. My hope is that someone can identify some of the attendees. At the time of this photograph the old log church was still in use.

Two people in the photo that I'm sure of are the lady at the far end of the 'table," with long dress and sun bonnet, who was my great aunt Betty Frances West-Cooper. At right front, the young lady in the white dress is Marjorie Blair, daughter of Virgil and Ida Sapp-Blair. I believe the man to her right is "Obie" Lawrence Rich, and directly behind Marjorie, I believe is Ether Sapp-Rich, wife of Lawrence.

The photo is very dim, but I have had some success with darkening it and manipulating the contrast. The photo is from the collection of Stanley and the late Beulah Blair Rich, of Barnett's Creek. Beulah loaned the picture to my sister JoAnn who forwarded the copy to me some years ago.

Best wishes,
s/Frank Dickerson
