On Friday afternoon we showed the photo to Donald Overton, a childhood friend just older than me, who remembers a lot about this area, I did not tell him what I thought, and he said this looks like the old church at Concord. Although they were not having church there in my childhood, 40's and 50's, Our parents, aunts, uncles and cousins, would go up every year before decoration day and clean up my Grandparents Higgs and Greatgrandparents Brattins graves. My brother and I would play around there and the old church always looked spooky to us in the late afternoon. We never went inside... it did set to the west and a little bit north part of the cemetery. and the photo looks like afternoon sun.... Donald also remembers Clark, Muncie Chapel, Hogeye AKAOverton, Corsicana and New HOpe Churches, As best as we remember Corsicana did not ever have a church at the Cemetery, New Hope never had a cemetery at the church. I went to school in the 1940's in the old Clark school and it did not face the cemetery to the west, it faced the road to the south. and the building was white clapboard but a different style. I have not been over to Mt Olive recently even though I have a great Uncle, Thomas Mcduffa Higgs, buried there. So I am not certain whether it could be Mt. Olive?
