Dacula.

	Pleasant Hill Methodist church was organized in 1837 about two miles from
Dacula, and remained there for twenty years. Then, during 1857, it was moved to
its present location in Dacula where the late Dr. S. H. Freeman, an active
member at that time, donated four acres of land, and the members built a church
house and a parsonage. The cemetery at the original location is still being
used, and is among the nicest burying grounds to be found in the county, having
a rock wall built entirely around it and many handsome stones placed over the
graves. The present value of the church property in Dacula is $2,500.00, which
is a very low estimate. Messrs. S. A. Edmonds, J. H. Freeman, John S. Hinton,
James Y. R. Stanley and Dr. Samuel L. Hinton are among the surviving members who
helped to organize the church in its later location.
