EXCERPT OF HISTORICAL CEMETERY:
"In the Little River area French Broad Baptist Church was organized in 1866. Members first met in a blacksmith shop. The congregation built a small church but it was destroyed by fire within a year. After that they held services in the schoolhouse deeded to them by Mr. Allison while they erected a new church. Around 1910 heavy snows caused the collapse of the church roof. Once again the congregation rebuilt."
