How one Concord became known as New Concord About: Query: Needs information on distinction of the Concords Old and New For years confusion has been realized regarding the identities of the two Concord communities of Adair County. I am familiar with one of them because my mother, Katherine Louise Grider Lepiarczyk, was born there. Today this community is known as New Concord. The community began to be known as New Concord after the Concord School ceased operation sometime during the 1950s. The New Concord community is located in the proximity of Garlin, Craycraft, and Clear Springs. The primary landmark of the New Concord community is the New Concord Community Church. The cemetery at New Concord, adjacent to the New Concord Community Church, is yet called the Concord Cemetery. The Concord Cemetery was established by 1946. Members of the Daniel Marion Grider family attended this church when it was the New Concord Methodist Church. My grandmother, the late Effie Burton Grider, was a charter member of the New Concord Methodist Church. Another cemetery in the New Concord community is the Grider Cemetery, located on the left side of the road enroute from New Concord to Craycraft. I know that the Old Concord community has a church. What are the names of the cemeteries at Old Concord?It is my understanding that Adair County also has two White Oak communities. Again, I am more familiar with one of them; the one located in the proximity of Ozark and Roy. The White Oak Community Church is the primary landmark of this community. The White Oak Community Church was formerly a Baptist church when my grandfather, the late Daniel Marion Grider; and members of my ancestral James Grider family, attended there many years ago. My great-grandfather, the late James Grider, was one of the charter members and trustees of the White Oak Baptist Chruch during the 19th century. James Grider devotedly attended the White Oak Baptist Church many years before his death in 1909. James Grider conducted singing schools in the White Oak Baptist Church and was a song leader there.
