/ conditions OF PlckenS county, but
Sam Moore in Reform Saturday, this
gentleman related incidents to US
while in conversation with Mr.. A.
that contradict statments made in
4 the history of the county. This his
tory was complied by Mr. Smith, a
practicing attorney, who drifted in
| here for short time and who should
not have been as well informed as
Mr.. Moore, who is now among the
oldest of this county's citizens The
4 historian furnished the information
that the oldest settler came to Pick
ems county in the year 1917 and set
tied just above Pickensville, being
followed by others who came and
settled on down the river. For a long
number of years there was a Baptist
church at the Garden known at Enon,
which is mentioned in the history as
the first church established in the
county, but Mr.. Moore states that
here was a church in above Gordo
Known as Silas and that the people
worshipped there as early as 1915.
This church afterwards was moved
to near where Reform now is and
named Fellowship. To verify his
statement he says that there was a
large grave yard at the church (Sil-
as) and after the land drifted into the
hands of distinguished parties the
home of the dead was turned into
cultivation, but the law interviewed
and this was stopped Fellowship
church mentioned above is still in ex-
istence and has some of the best men
of the county as it's members. There
is large grave yard close by in
which sleep fifteen Confederate
veterans. The first Masonic pro-
cession ever held at the grave yard
was the burial of one John Thomp-
son and the second was that If Ben
Jennings, father of Mr.. ]. Ben Jen-
nRngs, who now resides in the Stansel
neighborhood. This church was or
ganized in 1920 and the minutes show
that Ambros Dollar was its first
clerk. The people of the Fellowship
community take great pride in
their church and school, and they
both have a reputation over the en-
tire county.
