Thank you so much for sharing this with me. The Presbyterian Church in Crystal Springs is just amazing. They have a balcony in the back of the church which was apparently for the slaves. In the back of the church, there is a picture of all of the pastors. My grandfather is the one farthest to the left-since he was the original pastor. Were it not for that picture, I would have no idea what he looked like. You may wish to pass this information on to Ms Little and the Lindesys. I am looking forward to our next visit to the area and hope to be able to spend several nights there. We have a relative living in Hazlehurst. She still attends the Presbyterian Church there. Her name is Louise Taylor Reagan, and I recall that she lives just around the corner from the church. She was the daughter of Annie Trawick Taylor.
