Vale School, the Church and Cemetery.

Across Fox Mill Road to the east from the Vale School-Community House is the 1896 Vale Methodist Church and cemetery. The top photo pairing shows the school building as seen from the church cemetery circa 1945 and in 2010. The old schoolhouse stands sentinel as the trees grow and the years add more gravestones to the church burial ground. The bottom photos shows the church, again, in 1945 and in 2009.
