Latham, Alabama: The NRHP forms suggest that, again, the church was built to serve a locale rather than as part of a distinct settlement; what I'm seeing suggests this was just a post office.  Mangoe ( talk ) 17:17, 5 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The two are the same place.  The first Methodist Church was organized in Red Hill, Alabama in 1847.  Mrs. Margaret (Peggy) Ferguson under the ministry of the Rev. Mr. Drue organized the first church.  Charter members were: […] Red Hill was changed to Latham in 1878, when the first post-office was organized and named.  The first postmistress was Mrs. Henry Cooper, whose husband was the son of Latham Cooper, for whom the town was named.  The name of the church was changed between February and June of 1909.  The building used for a church was a log house about one half mile northeast of present building.  — "Latham United Methodist Church, Red Hill, Ala".  Deep South Genealogical Quarterly .  Vol.  12.  Mobile Genealogical Society.  1975.  pp. 131 et seq.  , p.131  The creek is still named Red Hill, notice.   The GNIS record has Red Hill as a post office in the same record.  And pretty much all of this information is in the second source of Latham United Methodist Church .

Let's see if there is any more support for a Merge.  Please add new comments below this notice.  Thanks, L iz Read!  Talk!  22:05, 26 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge I concur on the merge, as all the policies seem to indicate that merger is the best option for non-notable articles that are verifiable.  The county is a good place for it.  I'm willing to do the merge if you remind me when it's time.  James.folsom ( talk ) 22:41, 26 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'd say rather to Latham United Methodist Church for the very simple and pragmatic reason that if that article were fully expanded from the sources that it already has , it would cover this topic at least as well if not better than this article at hand does.  Uncle G ( talk ) 00:22, 27 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Apologies, I was imprecise in my language, I support merge to where ever is suitable.  And agree with your assessment.
