The Church of Christ
- 1913-
The Church of Christ building was erected
in 1913 on part of J.R. Kennamer’s garden that he donated for the church. Members of the Kennamer Cove Church moving to
Woodville started the Church of Christ. Before the church was built, the
first meeting was held in a tent and later in homes. They also met in the old Methodist Church by the old elm tree, which was a short distance
northwest of the Church of Christ.
An addition was made in 1926. Through the years
many modern improvements have been made on this church building and a baptistery
was installed in 1968.
Behind the Church of Christ is a small grave
and the marker reads, Myra Zita Kennamer. This was the daughter of Lorrin and Ruie Kennamer and the granddaughter of J.R.
Kennamer Sr. She died the same day of birth October 28, 1920.
Church services are still held here
every Sunday.
