HISTORY

Our Story

In September 1899 it was decided to build a "union church" at Forks of Cacapon. William Powell Sr. ,Grover Hiett and Simon Swisher were elected trustees to whom a lot on Island Hill near Forks of Cacapon is to be deeded for a church and cementery from George Hiett and his wife and Joseph Hiett and his wife all of Forks of Cacapon. On Feb. 17 1900 it was under roof. 
Joshua Shanholtz was the builder and he and his family are buried in the Island hill Cementery.
