The present Cumberland Presbyterian Church sanctuary was built in 1903 with the educational building being built in the late 1940's. The congregation was founded in 1850. My gr,gr grandparents (Andrew and Julia Ann Vick Shoffner) were also members there in the late 1860's until the Gum Springs CP Church was started where they became charter members. Both congregations are really small now. ---Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vicki or Rod Reynolds" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 17, 2002 1:30 PM Subject: Re: [ARWHITE] Old Churches, Schools & Bridges > Don't forget about the Cumberland Presbyterian Church located on Race St. > in Searcy built (the first one burned down) back in the middle 1800's. > They are still using it but relatives have informed me that the membership > has dwindled down to almost nil.
