Paul, I don't know the name or the location of the church(es) at Public Forks, but I know where that community is. If you have a current VA roadmap, head south from Richmond on US 15 and 360 (same route, but may have been replaced with a freeway, since I left that area in 1943.) Go past Burkeville and Keysville; about 20 miles further south, the two routes diverge, with 15 going south, and 360 going west. This intersection is Barnesville, where another route goes east to Chase City. Go west from Barnesville about 4-5 miles to an intersection. This is Public Forks. A road north from here goes to Randolph. 360 continues west through South Boston in Halifax Co., and to Danville in Pittsylvania Co. About all I can recall at Public Forks was a general mercantile store and gas station, which may have had a post office. I grew up at Red Oak (some good roadmaps still show it), Charlotte Co., 3 miles south of Barnesville. Gordon Adams: GorAdams@aol.com
