I am in my Grandmother's arms (Annie Mae Campbell) on the first row of the women in the picture. I was born May, 1949 so this picture would have been taken late 1949 or early 1950. Rev. Tyree Harrison was the Pastor. I have been told that my Great Grandfather Charlie Campbell gave the land for the Church.

His wife was Louella, not sure if the Della was for her. If the wife had a lot of influence in the area, I can see members referring to the church as "the Ella Green church".
