Notes

The building in the above photo might possibly be the temporary church building that was used from 1939 - 1945 following a disastrous April 9, 1939 fire which destroyed the structure built in 1900.  If not, then it is the structure that was built in 1900 and later modified with additional footage in 1916 & 1922.  For more information about the church, please read the article "Faulks Baptist Church" by Geneva Haney as found on pages 153-154 in "The Heritage of Union County, North Carolina, 1842 - 2004, Volume II".  Also see "Faulks Church" by Olin F. Haney. (much of the information in these notes was taken from Ms. Haney's article)
