| Notes for Charles Garfield Oliver Sayles | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Charles Sayles was one of the founders of the Red Bluff Church in Austinville, Va. It is a one room building with an outhouse behind it, and an old wood stove in the center. It still holds meeting and Sunday School every other week, and holds a homecoming every 4th of July weekend. Adjacent to the church is a burial ground. On the left side of the church, towards the rear, there are two unmarked sunken plots which are the resting places of Charles Sayles and his wife Phoebe Sanders Sayles. SFM | ||||||||||||||||||||||
