I have been told that someone had asked where Redbrush Church was. I am sorry I either missed that one or I hadn't read the book on the Centennial of Beech Church. If you read the Three Beech Church History emails I have sent it does talk about Redbrush Church which was only about 1/2 mile south of Beech Church. There is a sketch of Redbrush in the front of the book. It also has the following in the back of the book: REDBRUSH Come, bearded Time, and carry us back To old-time wagon and high-perched hack, Whose rattling broke the woodland's hush, Carrying folks to church at old Redbrush. Old-time religion, old-time song, Old-time friendship which harbored no wrong. Young and old got there withough much rush, Attending meeting at old Redbrush. Beech The long, long years bring marvelous change; Hands of progress are holding the reins. Where steel-shod rigs disturbed solemn hush, How trusty Fords work for new Redbrush >From far-off points where hacks couldn't reach, In motor cars they come to the Beech. Years, "bring what you will," in prayer we say; The God that blessed then, blesses today. -Earl Coan Poem was published in the Directory of the Beech Church of United Brethren in Christ; Rev. S. L.
