Besides, most of these little churches were built in the fifties, and cannot survive a close-up of the front of the place; not to mention, they all look just about alike, except for some detail. A very smart funeral home director in the 1950's looked around and saw most of these post Civil War churches were falling down, and so he financed new Church buildings . . . all built from the same plan. I suppose it was a successful public relations move, (lots better than hand powered fans with his name on them) because he is among the wealthiest men in the area. By the way, he keeps giving back to the community. He recently financed a huge recreational facility here in town, and a building for a trade school and child care at one of the rural churches.
