The Blount County News and Dispatch, 22 May 1890 Remlap, Alabama. We spent last Sunday at Remlap, in this county, and was the guest of Mr. James W. Palmer, wife and daughter, and were hospitably entertained. Attended the Sunday school and religious services, met several friends, and heard two excellent sermons by the Rev. Mr. Glenn, the pastor, whom we found to be a courteous, intelligent gentleman. Remlap is pleasantly located on the Mineral railroad, about four miles from Village Springs and some of the very best citizens of Blount county live in the immediate vicinity. There is a fine M.E. Church, South, and an excellent academy, both situation in a delightful grove; in close proximity is "The City of the Dead," a handsome cemetery which contains the ashes of those loved ones who have joined "The silent majority," and are now reaping their reward. We accompanied our friend Elijah M. Cowden among the graves, and were pleased to see how nicely this last resting place of the dead is kept. The neat condition of the burying ground is an evidence of an intelligent, refined and God fearing community. On the fourth Sunday in July the District Conference will convene here, and already preparations are being made to receive the delegates.
