In July 1825, William and Mary Billingsley Holmes and daughter Polly Holmes, Christopher and Elizabeth Wood Gist, and Levi McWhirter and wife met in the grove of large oaks directly to the west and organized a Bible school. There was the beginning of the first Church of Christ in West Tennessee. In the early days, camp meetings were held the first week of October.
