Fourth-Sunday Singing

A monthly music convention was founded in 1885 or 1890 by this church at its old location one-half mile east. It began when G.J. Oslin of Arkansas held a 20-day music school here. Singers came from a wide area, and a tuning fork was used to give pitch until instruments were obtained. The present officers are J.G. Murphy, president, and Mrs. Ola Speight, secretary. Also in 1885, the village of Hoover's Gin was founded nearby by merchant John T. Hoover.
