Karima: I believe the church you refer to off of Rt. 127 is Dutch Ridge Baptist Church; a very pretty little chuch (which had to be rebuilt in the 1960's due to being destroyed by fire); I remember my grandfather crying when he learned of the fire to Dutch Ridge; there is a cemetery next to the church. A lot of my relatives/ancestors are buried there. Carol Our life may not always be the party we would have chosen, but while we are here, we may as well dance!

Yes, now I remember. I walked that cemetery (about 20) years ago looking for the graves of my ancestors also. If my memory serves me well, my mother's family lived just off the road that ran down to 127 and then into Pamona. The church was on the North side of the road and was visible from 127. Was that road Dutch Ridge road? I know in the census records the family is listed as living in Pamona Township, but I remember hearing about Dutch Ridge a lot. Is Dutch Ridge Road and the Boat Dock Road the same road?
