Souders: I just had read the name not very long ago, so I went back to the "History of Mt. Zion Community" book to see if it was there, and it was: It read: "In about the summer of 1914, an extensive remodeling project was undertaken. A full basement was dug out under the church (Methodist Episcopal Church) and finished with concrete. New opera type pews were installed, and the walls were painted. One man in the church, Bert Souders, was a gifted decorator. At that time it was popular to put embossed squares on the ceiling, then painting them a light color, which he did. Mr. Souders also put a pretty design of various colors around as a border just below the ceiling. A furnace also put in the basement to replace the stove that had formerly heated the room." (p. 72) "One day I sat down and began writing names of families that between 1900 and 1916 belonged to and faithfully attended this church. I was amazed at the number. I list the ones that came to my mind: ... Mr. and Mrs. Bert Souders; Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Souders, children Hazel Marie and Edward ... " (p. 72) On page 132, the author talks about the Wayne H. Ball Family, saying, "They moved to Ben Souders' house on Spitler Road in the Spring of 1935 and bought the Charles Durning place ..." On page 129, the author talks about the Akers Family, John and Robert. "Robert was born in 1842 in Hohenwald, Tenn. He married Eliza Humphrey (born in 1843). ... Mr. Akers lived in the Mt. Zion area for many years with his daughters, Mrs. Evie Souders and Mrs. Eliza Abbot after the death of his wife. The home is still standing on Spitler Woods Dr." There is a lot more if you don't have the info. on the Akers. Jane
