Here's Your Sign

Bill Engvall coined the phrase, "Here's Your Sign" in 1996.

"I got me a nice one, and I hung it on the den wall in my house.  My neighbor comes over and he says, 'Did you shoot that thing?' I said 'Nope.  He ran through the wall and got stuck. Here's your sign."

The old Dacusville Elementary School has become Dacusville Community Center, many different organizations meet in the building; Scouts, Heritage Club, Dacusville Rec., Garden Club, Bee Keepers, etc. The center has had concerts, and Pickens County will be placing a Library Branch in the facility. The community is also looking to place a fitness center in the facility. 

Legend of the Hunt Brothers

Hunt's Memorial Baptist Church is located on Alex Drive in Dacusville.

 In the cemetary are two tombstones, on one is Thomas Hunt and on another is James Hunt. 

Legend has it that Thomas Hunt died first on September 11, 1884 at the age of twenty-eight.  His brother, James, died six weeks later on October 28, 1884 at the age of twenty-six.  One was a good child, always considerate and caring.  The other was a horrible child who was always in trouble.  The bad  child was very jealous of his brother, and one day killed him.  Everyone was devastated, and they chose to mark his tombstone with a finger pointing upward.  When it was determined that the favored son had been killed by his terrible brother, they had him hung.  The only people who attended the hanging were a minister and an undertaker.  On his tombstone, they put a finger pointing down with a chain around it.

If you are ever visiting Hunt's Memorial Baptist Church look for these two tombstones.
