Boiling Springs Methodist Church (Oxford, Alabama)

On the highway, east of Oxford, is the site of perhaps the first Methodist 
Church ever built in the neighborhood.  Anson West, in his History of Methodism 
in Alabama, tells of the organization in 1836 of "the Boiling Spring Methodist 
Church, one and a half miles southeast of Oxford in the County of Benton."
This church was located where Old Coney, a colored church, is now.  However, 
the original building was not exactly in the same place as the colored church.  
The Boiling Spring Methodist Church was located just north of the graveyard, 
while the colored church building is east of the cemetery.
