EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in October 1933, transports us back to a simpler time in American history. The image captures the poignant moment when the congregation of Sharps Station M. E. Church in Loyston, Tennessee, leaves at the close of a service. Little did they know that their beloved church would soon be submerged by the waters of the Norris Dam reservoir. The scene exudes nostalgia as we witness a large group of people making their way towards their vehicles parked along dirt roads. The vintage cars serve as a reminder of an era long gone by. As we gaze upon this rural landscape, we can almost feel the sense of community and faith that permeated through these countryside gatherings. The photo encapsulates not only religious devotion but also highlights the importance placed on attending worship services within this tight-knit community. It serves as a testament to how integral religion was to daily life during this period. As we reflect on this archival snapshot from history, it reminds us of both loss and resilience. The imminent submersion of Sharps Station M. E. Church symbolizes change and progress brought about by dam construction projects during the Great Depression era. This remarkable print allows us to glimpse into America's past and appreciate its rich cultural heritage while evoking feelings of admiration for those who found solace within these humble country churches amidst challenging times.
