Yes....that is true....however, there is still a Beech Branch Baptist Church in operation in Sardis, that serves the black community. The address in the telephone book is: 7586 Highway 24S, Sardis, GA 30456 tel: 912-569-9007. I don't see a listing for McCoy, but I'm sure I can find someone who knows a contact...I'll try to find someone on Monday. -----Bob Hammond ----- Original Message ----- From: Williams <cclad@usit.net> To: <GABURKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2000 2:34 AM Subject: Re: Beech Branch Church > The Sardis Baptist Church was first called the Beech Branch.
