Keeper of the Fire, Sandy Hook, Kentucky

Methodist Church, Sandy Hook, Kentucky

Daddy (Robert E. Fannin - son of Oscar H. and Maude (Lewis) Fannin, attended this little church in his childhood. He was hired by a Mrs. Rice to keep the fires built and church warm. Dad learned to sing the beautiful hymns and worshiped there often with his mother. I have never been inside of this small mountain church, but I would love to stop by sometime and tell them of the good memories my dad still carries from his time there as a boy. Generations have passed, and I am sure there were many a boy that had the responsibility to keep the fires built.
But the fires were not only built in the old furnance, but in dad's heart as well.
