Hickory
Creek Union Church & Cemetery
Location: North of Jameson, from the junction of Highway 13 and Route C, go .7 mile south on Highway 13 to Forest Road. Turn east and go .6 mile. Turn north and go .3 mile to cemetery.
Many
early pioneers are buried here. The oldest
marked grave dates to 1845, however there are
undoubtedly older unmarked graves. White wooden
crosses were placed at the unmarked graves in 1995
to remember those buried without headstones. Hickory
Creek Church Association was formed in 1869 by a stock
company of those interested in having a church in the
community. A board of trustees was elected, and the
church building erected at a cost of $1700. Two
congregations, the Hickory Creek Baptists and the
Grand River Congregation of Cumberland Presbyterians,
met once a month on different Sundays. Later, two other
congregation also alternated Sundays, they were the
Methodists and an unknown congregation. The last service were held here in 1940
by the Hickory Creek Baptist congregation. In 1970 the building was torn down
and the walnut lumber sold.
