"This is a photo of my uncle, Paul Reed, and members of his congregation, cutting logs for the church - Assembly of God. My uncle is sitting on top of logs in center. In the background, you can see a building that is still standing in Dove Creek. I think that it was the first school in Dove Creek. At the time of this photo - about 1945-46 - it was the Assembly of God Church - while new log church was being built. During the late 1940's and early 50's it was the home of Ernest and Roma Hall. Mr. Hall had a watch repair shop in the front. Later in the early 50's it was the home of the Stull family. Mr. Stull also repaired watches." *Phyllis Wilson Carpenter PRCarpe @ aol.com**
