Jennifer, I was talking to my aunt about Macedonia Baptist and the fire. She called her uncle, Eubaun Richardson (mother was Mary Hattie Gaylor). Uncle Eubaun was born in 1921. His mother, Hattie Gaylor Richardson was my great grandmother and she lived until 1990 and she was 104. I loved visiting her because she loved to tell stories...I do wish I appreciated it more and listened better. Anyhow, Uncle Eubaun said the current church standing is actually the third church building. He said the first one was a log cabin. His grandparents, Thomas Gaylor and Sarah Slover used to own the land around there...so Eubaun heard these stories from them. The log cabin wasn't very big so another church was built in its place and it burnt down in 1921...at least it was rebuilt in 1921. He told about Thomas helping in rebuilding it. He always heard the church burnt down from the stove that heated it. The night before the Sunday services, they would come in and bank the fire so it would be warm the next morning and the fire got too hot and the building burnt down. The sad part is, the cemetery records were also burnt in the fire. Now, Eubaun's brother, June, has attended church there since he was a boy and he and his wife have the old church records. My aunt is going to visit there at the Richardson Reunion on June 1 and she is going to ask to look at them. He said it doesn't have any cemetery records listed but some things about the church and some of the members. I am anxiously awaiting her report on that! I have a few stories that my great grandmother told about her father, Thomas Gaylor (Thomas II)..his father's name was also Thomas Gaylor. Both are buried in the Macedonia Cemetery. If anyone is interested you can email me. I feel so fortunate to have known my great grandmother and to still have my dad's uncles, Eubaun and June around to answer our questions.
