The Section House |
|
Douglas Donavan, and his wife Fannie, moved to an area named Scott’s Station where he would work as a maintenance engineer for the New Orleans, Mobile and Chattanooga Railroad. The couple lived near our present church, in quarters known as the “section house”. Mr. Donavan organized an interdenominational Sunday School for blacks and whites, and held worship meetings under majestic oak trees near the Gulf. Mrs. Fannie C. Donavan became the first Sunday School teacher and taught her class of 5 children under the old oak tree. |
