The Story of Hickory Grove Church and Cemetery Rise and Fall
An account by C B Carnahan details Hickory Grove Church a mile north of Mt Pleasant, its cemetery, and surrounding school grounds. It covers 1869 founding by Rev J W Pickett, community life through a thriving literary society, decline as residents moved away, and the 1991 deed transfer to the township for ongoing care.
