Florence Christian
| The above image of Florence Christian was the church built in 1835, and eventually torn down in 1964. There was a prior log cabin, originally from 1831, but is rumored to have been burned down by 'two disgruntled females.' |

"John W. Aylor of Gunpowder once saved a great loss at Hopeful
Church by
bringing a girl late to church and discovering a fire on the church roof.
Several parties tried to perform similar services at Hebron recently, but there
happened to be no fire and there was little gained."
