Geocache Description:

This is another hide in our racing series. In the fun of the name we decided it needed to go somewhere a little spooky. FTF gift is a collectors racing tin with a deck of cards inside. Have fun geocaching, and thanks for chasing our cache! Team Snapps

The year 1884 is the earliest that the church's name is mentioned. Pastor Hartry and his congregation living in the area of Piney Grove Road near the Concord city limits established their predominately African American church in 1900. This little country church was attended mainly by two dominate families, the Reids and Propsts. It is possible that this congregation started in the family home before they were able to build the actual church. Strange things seem to be part of this church's nature. After several housing developments began to be built up around the fields of the church, the congregation abandoned it. Before the building was vandalized, you could look through the windows and see the chapel set up like it was waiting for next Sunday's sermon. A large bible lay open on the pulpit with a purple cloth beneath it. Hymnals and weekly programs were neatly tucked in the pews. To an outsider, you wouldn't have known the church had been abandoned several years before. The grave yard is no more than fifteen feet from the church's back door. There are a total of 39 known graves on the site; 17 being Reids and 6 Propst. The oldest grave belongs to a twelve year old boy named Lonnie Matthews. He died in September of 1901. The last person buried on the site was Leroy Propst in October 1998. We hid this cache at the bottom of the driveway so you won't have to walk to the church or grave yard. ************************************************************************************** Congratulations to bamafan323 for FTF!! great job Pictures, Images and Photos
