County of church: Callaway County
Location of church: CR-1035, East side, ½ N. of CR-1034, SE about 5 miles from Shamrock
Year Built: 1887

"Resources consulted did not reveal any information on the history of the church. The “Cemeteries of Callaway County” website (see sources) notes that the building was constructed in 1887 and “resurrected” in 1999 by locals for church services. A partial listing of burials in the associated cemetery include graves from the 1890s through 1930s.

"This church is located in an remote part of the county and is difficult access from major roads. The topography is relatively flat and the setting is a mix of agricultural lands and wooded areas. The church is located ot the east of CR 1035, the cemetery is located on a large lot to the south of the church. Stones face west and run in long north-south rows.

"Apparently constructed in 1887, this church was remodeled in 1999. The church was originally gable-end, with a cast rock face concrete block foundation and a steeply pitched gable roof. The front foyer/narthex addition has a lower pitched gable roof and a slab concrete foundation. The foyer was likely added during the 1999 remodeling. The entrance us centered in the addition and consists of paired multi-paned French doors. There are two-pane sliding (?) sash windows on either side of the foyer. The fenestration on the long sides of the church building are 1/1 vinyl sash windows." ~ Missouri Department of Natural Resources, page 308 on PDF
