On land donated by J.W. and Mary Moore, owners of a pioneer gristmill and cotton gin. First burial (about 1860) was a stranger who died on a wagon trip from West Texas to Arkansas. Other old graves: fever victims and faithful Moore family servants. Little Flock (named for text in Luke 12:32) was a meeting place for seven congregations camping here annually on first Sunday in May to worship with ritual foot washing. Sunshine Church, founded before 1848, moved here in 1879. (1969)
