It had a clay chimney and was heated by an open fireplace in one end of the room. Sisters of the church raised $80 to add 16 feet to the length of the building. On October 5, 1884 it was recommended that a cross section be added to the church 50' x 20' and the body of the church be lengthened 22 feet. The new building was completed in 1895 on land given to the congregation. The present sanctuary was completed during April, 1958. Dedication services were held Easter Sunday, 1958 with Pastor Rev. George Kissinger presiding. UNION BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY In an effort to afford greater ease in locating specific gravesites, the sketch of the cemetery has been divided into three sections. These sections have been arbitrarily assigned for the presentation in this book. When standing on Guinea Road facing the cemetery, Section "A" will be on the left. The inscriptions were copied during July, 1994. ------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION "A" ----------------- 1 unmarked grave Taliaferro Bland DAVIDSON July 8, 1876 Feb 8, 1950 Wm.
