Wadley, Randolph County, Alabama. 

History of Randolph County by Elizabeth E. Smith:

Baptist and Methodists both had churches at Louina before 1860. The bell 
bought for Louina Methodist church after the war cost $100. It was mounted on 
posts 30 feet high and could for heard for miles around. It is now in the 
Pleasant Hill church and is known as the Pleasant Hill bell. 

Randolph Leader Aug-1936:

This church was organized 64 years ago with the services held under a bush arbor 
for two years, with the Rev. E. W. Jones, of the Louina Circuit, first pastor. 
There have been 4 churches built including the present nice modern building. 
On the Pleasant Hill grounds have been three school buildings and each was 
blown away by a storm. The last one was about the time the Wadley school 
was built and the children were transferred there. There are only 3 charter 
members living George Clegg, Mrs. Christina Robison and N. E. L. Peavy, the 
two former ones having retained their memberships there during these years. 
Mr. Peavy, now living in Wadley, moved his membership fit to Radney's Chapel 
then to Wadley. There are several members living who have belonged to this 
church more than 50 years.

Early members surnames were:

The Homecoming was the fourth Sunday in June. The weeklong rivals aways started
