• Notes

  Name: Quoting from the DeSoto Parish History Sesquicentennial Edition 1843-1993 page 23 The name below is actually William Allen THARP not Thorpe Keatchie Methodist Church - The organization of the first Methodist church in Keachi was around 1840. It was known as Mount Carmel Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Rev. Cavanaugh was pastor and his wife taught school in the church. The church and parsonage burned. The church standing now, is known as Keatchie United Methodist, was built in 1879. M. J. Cunningham bought the lot it is built on in 1879 from the William A. Thorpe Estate for $150, then gave it to the church as a gift. The church was still known as Keachi Methodist Episcopal Church, South. It later was changed to Keatchi Methodist and now is Keachi United Methodist. The light fixtures and benches are original. It is believed that the gavel, secretary and old song book (without music) were saved from the Mount Carmel Church fire. One of the early members, William A Thorpe, donated a 3 acre 16 rod lot next to the Mount Carmel Church. Early trustees were W. Black, Joseph Wedon, William A Thorpe, William Spell, Dr. Robert Horn. President of Board of Trustees, and J. H. John. Fullilove. Rev. J. M. Liverman was the first pastor. The original deed was recorded in Natchitoches, LA on 11/20/1878. Keachi United Methodist Church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, 6/1988.
