Picture of Church Cemetery, New Prospect

This belonged to our great grandmother, Narcissus Camp Brian. This turkey platter is over 150 years old and was sent by a kinsman from Scotland. Blanche Brian Brown is holding it. She is the daughter of James and Sallie Mooney Brian, and great-granddaughter of Narcissus Camp Brian.

This is the picture of the New Prospect Baptist Church after it was remodeled. The old church burned. Thomas and Narcissus Brian were saved and baptized into this church. This is the church where my grandfather, Alfred Aaron Brian, found the Lord and was baptized. just east or to the back of the church is the cemetery where many of our kinsmen are buried. I visited the graveyard in 1957 and then in 1970.
