Did you
know: The answer to last week's newsletter was Zion United
Methodist Church. It was built in the late 1700's or early
1800's making it one of the oldest churches in the area. Dr.
B. Rhett Turnipseed was one of Zion's most memorable ministers,
growing up in Cedar Creek and from the first graduating class at
Clemson University in 1896. He later became the President of Lander
College.
