<br /> 6. The church was organized Oct. 3o, 1938. In December 1944, Matthew and Julia
<br /> Nunn donated 2.36 acres for construction of a church, to be known as the First
<br /> Baptist Church of the New Hope Association. In May 1945 the name was
<br /> changed to Nunn Chapel of the New Hope Association. The building was
<br /> erected in 1946 and burned sometime before 1967, but the foundation and the
<br /> large concrete front steps remain. The graves of Rev. Nunn and his wife are
<br /> about 120 ft to the rear of the NW corner of the foundation on the east side of a
<br /> huge boulder. Rev. Nunn apparently selected this picturesque site for his wife's
<br /> grave in 1956, and was later buried beside her following his accidental death at
<br /> age 79.
