Last week we shared this photo with you:

This photo, supplied by the Madill Church Preservation Society (MCPS), was for the “60th anniversary of the opening and dedication of Madill’s Church” (according to a caption on the photo) on Sunday, June 16, 1935.

MCPS is a not-for-profit group that formed to save historic Madill Church from demolition. The group is raising funds to repair the church, which was built in 1872 and 1873, including a new foundation, a new roof, restoration or replacement of some of the logs and replacing the chimney. The group estimates the repairs will cost $70,000. (See stories related to Madill Church here.)
