Ceralvo, Kentucky-The Church.
The above picture is of the Methodist Church in Ceralvo. The Church also served as
a Masonic Lodge. It is still standing, and continues to serve the community, not
only by the local people, but by "Friends and Kin" of most of the people that ever
lived in that area. A few people still live in this small town on the Green River, but
houses and people are steadily decreasing. Ceralvo is an old river town that has a
history somewhat like Rockport.
My most pleasant memories of Ceralvo is of the "Homecomings" at the Church. Ah, what
a wonderful time all had, and a most delightful meal ever to be enjoyed. This was my
first taste of a "Buffet". In my pre-teen years and even in early teenage years, our
family would head out to Ceralvo for each "Annual Homecoming". I had to be forced to
go, as my idea of a fun Sunday would be to play, fish, or hunt and not to attend a
"Homecoming". Once there, I always enjoyed myself. After all, the meals were good and
there was always some girl, my age, that I would meet and run with for that particular
day. Ah, Ceralvo. Guessing, I would say that the picture of the Church was taken in the
late forties, maybe a little earlier. I have been to Ceralvo recently and the Church
seems to be everlasting. Since the picture was taken, the Cemetery, behind the Church,
may have had a member or two added and the trees are now a little larger, but the Church
is still in use. Lead on people and friends of Ceralvo.
See you.....
