This two-room school was built in the early 1920s. It served the community of Cisco until the 1950s when it consolidated with another local school. A history of Murray County schools is maintained by the Murray County Museum.
Mt. Sumach Baptist Church is located in the hills of the Georgia Mountains near the Tennessee State line. The church’s graveyard is typical of many rural church cemeteries. There are a mixture of modest headstones. Additionally, there are a handful of vernacular markers. Two of these markers are the “head and shoulder” markers, which I usually see made out of wood. The pink marble marker is likely made from Tate, Georgia pink marble.
