M. E. Church South at Dranesville, Va. was erected in 1852.  During the War it 
was used as horse stable and Hospital by the Yankees.  After the War it was 
known as Liberty Church and was finally taken over by the Methodists.  About 4 
months ago (1935) this church was reimbursed by Federal Govt. $1,000.00 for 
damage done during the War.  This land where the church stands and graveyard 
also was donated by James Coleman, who was buried there Jan. 23, 1861.  Other
