The A.M.E. church at Lucama.

Another bit of documentation regarding Lucama’s “lost” A.M.E. church:

On 9 March 1919, Walter Bethea, 18, of Crossroads township, son of R.D. and Mary Bethea, married Mattie Westley, 16, of Crossroads township, daughter of John Anne Westley, in Wilson County. Herbert Bethea applied for the license, and A.M.E. minister J.F. McNair performed the ceremony at “the A.M.E. ch. in Lucama N.C.” in the presence of R.D. Bethea, Will Hines, and James Bunn.
