People and Places in Fentress Co,Tn
This is the church I went to as a child in Rottens Fork,Pall Mall, Tennsessee. Preacher Russell was the minister. Later on his soon to be wife Hazel took over. It was grand inside. There was an organ that fascinated me and logs as the wall on the inside. It burned down in the late 50s or early 60s. For years they had Brush Arbor in the same spot.I have been on top of that mountain behind the church. It is known as Hossey Cliff.
