Friendship Methodist Church
Location: FM 1915, Davilla
Erected in: 1982
Marker text: As early as the 1870s, Methodist worship services for pioneers of the Friendship
community were conducted by circuit riders in a one-room schoolhouse (.25 mi.
W). Land for the present church site and cemetery was deeded in 1884 by E. W.
Graham, and a sanctuary was built here soon after. The site of many early
revivals, the Friendship Methodist Church has served as a focal point of the
surrounding rural community. Traditional services for the congregation,
including a Memorial Day observance in June and a Thanksgiving celebration, now
serve as homecoming events.
