Sidney McWhorter writes: My mother, Mardelle Stonecypher McWhorter, used to tell me every time we went by there, that she went to school there when she was a little girl. Wayne Reed adds, via Facebook: My mother used to walk by this school on her way to school in Pitts This was a black school in the 20’s and 30’s. Mother is 98 and has a great memory. According to Shawn Rhodes, it was most recently used as Snow Hill Church (early 1980s – 2003).
This congregation in the Double Run community was established in 1909.
Here’s a nice memory from Wally Calhoun: “I remember as a little boy going to this church with my grand parents Dan and Lois Calhoun when my family would come visit. Virginia Calhoun Spradley and Barbara Calhoun Schmauzer are my aunts. My grandfather was the music minister here. Sometime around the early 70′s I remember going early to the church with him to get ready for the morning service and he handed me a couple of bathroom tissue rolls and told me to be sure both outhouses were stocked with tissue.. Yes, outhouses“.
