Church Trips and Scandals At Forks of Cheat
The Forks of Cheat Baptist Church draws visitors with its iron “whiskey monument” and tales of prohibition era exchanges. Local lore mentions a hilltop church built to spot and deter Indian raids, a silver chalice in response to fashion, and a reputed ghost. Also noted are Scott Scroggins’ North South football game in Charleston and local family updates including Dickie Scroggins’ return from Colorado and Mrs. Shirley Kiernan’s hospitalization.
