The farm on Cheyenne Road
belongs to Don Williams. His ancestor, Jesse Irwin, in 1895 deeded land
just east of his home to his mixed race neighbors for a church. The Revels
Valley Free Methodist Church was attended by both white and multi-racial
worshippers from about 1890 through the 1940's.
At the Williams Farm, looking up the valley to the north is a vacant wood frame building that was the Revels/Roberts homestead. About ½ mile East of the Williams farm, a grove of trees on the
left hand side of the road marks a stone foundation. It is all that remains
of the church. |
