The town was named after
an Episcopal church built in
1874. 1t fell into disrepair and
was replaced in 1857 with the
present brick church. which
stands aloof in a poplar
shaded yard near the center
of town.
George Washington often
worshiped in the old church.
Local historians say the rec
ords show that he served as a
vestryman of this parish from
1852 and l765, and was. in
fact. present at the vestry
meeting the day it was de-
cided to build the new church.
The official road marker
outside the church states that
the church was a recruiting
station in the Revolutionary
War and adds. somewhat
tartly. 1t appears, that it was
used as a stable by Union
troops in the Civil Wars. B.
