Hi, Look for page 35, in history of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The rock backgound would be a waterfall after a big rain. The picture page is unnumbered. Faye CarolSue Robinson wrote: > Sharon..thanks!

YES, YES!!!!!!!! THAT'S IT!! Thanks so much Faye, it was right here and I didn't see it. She was baptised at Haskin Hollow, that rock cliff is the background in her photo, but it had water pouring off of it in a waterfall. And Mt. Zion Baptist Church makes sense, her parents were buried at that cemetery, and some siblings. This is an absolutely WONDERFUL book, Faye...thanks for doing it and for helping us out.
