MOUNT HOREB PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH.

MOUNT HOREB PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH is perhaps one of the very oldest churches
in the county. It was constituted on October 15, 1809, by the following members:
Simon Barden, Celia Barden, Isaac Burkhalter, William Burnham, Levi Bush, Nathan
Bush, Sanders Colson, Elizabeth Roache, Martha Roebuck, Mary Barber, Nancy Bush,
Sarah Mason, Richard Davis, Frederick Barber, James Smith. The first pastor was
Elder Levi Bush.

  The first church was built above Cochran, where Evergreen Church now stands,
and was then located in Pulaski County. After a period of several years another
church was built on Jordan's Creek, southwest of Cochran. After Empire was
settled and the membership drifted in that direction, another church was built
about a mile south of Empire on land that was donated to them for that purpose
by Mr. A. T. Bowers. This church is located just across the railroad from the
Eastman and Cochran highway.

to the present date:
