    3. Dolores, I did some checking yesterday with Bob Miley. I knew there was a St. James Church on E Hwy 76, at the intersection with K Hwy, going down to Bull Shoals. And that is a little bit east, a couple miles, of Kirbyville, which would have been right in the path of the Melva Tornado. Bob said he's not sure they rebuilt the church/school right where it was before the tornado, but the building now called St. James was built around that time, so it could be the one you are thinking of. The Pleasant Hill district, referred to in articles about the tornado, is this region. Looking on a map, you'll see Hwy 76 east of Branson where it intersects with K Hwy. At TerraServer, if you've had problems seeing the maps, you can go up and click on where it says "Small, Medium, Large"--I automatically go to Large (guess I think I'm going to see some people waving or something...) Here's the link at TerraServer for St. James Church-- http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp?S=10&T=1&X=2437&Y=20266&Z=15&W=2 Vonda
