Mt. Carmel Methodist Church is the oldest congregation in Tattnall County. It was founded by pioneer settler Rev. William Eason (1771-1831) in 1808. A “Methodist Memorial” obelisk in front of the little chapel was placed in 1908 to honor of Mt. Carmel’s centennial and the memory of William & Sarah Mattox Eason. I’m unsure as to the date of construction of the present structure.
I was pastor at Mt Carmel in 1954
Thank you for sharing, Mr. Edwards. That was so long ago; do you have any particular memories of your time at the church?
