The wall ik made of larg blocks of granite laid in lim mortar. James Kincaird, Jr gave the lime in which the block , were laid, and it was hauled fror Limestone Springs, now in Chei okeo county. The granite wa quarried by the congregation an hauled to the church by the men: bers, and the wall was built by man named Spurrier. The war of secession playe havoc with tho Brick Church, i was left in a state almost of dif organization. Its men were slaii the homes of many of its peopl were left in ashes by Sherman army, and the church itself wh dismantled and used us quartet by the invading army.

Some on of the company was stirred i heart as he saw the deseeratio of the Lord's house, and he wrot in pencil on the doorfacing of th church those words, which ar legible today, after the lapse c 38 years: "Citizens of this Community: "LMeaae excuse us for defacin your house of worship bo mucl It was absolutely necessary t effect a crossing over the creek as the Rebs destroyed the bridg< 1 A Yankee.'' The names of many other so Idiers with the number of tliei regiments are written over th 1 walls of the church.
