BOWDON, Ga. It was first built in 1850.
Its third building lasted through depressions, wars, and many, many decades.
But last week, a small chapel in Carroll County was destroyed in a fire. Its congregants must now find faith in destruction.
“It was a church, said Julia Eason. It was God’s house.”
Eason stood with Rebecca Barnes Griffin, a descendant of Rev. Charles Barnes, who preached at Smith Chapel decades ago. They hold church minutes from 1945. It s a sign of how dearly so many embraced the humble facility and community.
