It is believed that the first person to settle in the Snowdoun community was a Mr. Carr who kept an inn on the hill where the Curry Home is now located. Another of the early settlers was Mr. William Taylor who came here from Wilkes County, Georgia, early in the 19th century. He acquired from the Government two square miles of land at the cost of $.25 per acre. The community of Snowdoun was named by a Mr. William Falconer and was so named because of its resemblance to Mount Snowdoun in Scotland as described by Scott in "Lady of the Lake". Mr. Falconer wrote a book while living in Snowdoun called "Bloom and Briar". It is believed that he lived in a log house on the farm now owned by Mr. & Mrs. Hocker Pirtle.

   Before the Civil War, there was a Methodist Protestant Church located approximately where the Curry home now stands. The Church afterwards became an Episcopal Church and at one time they had a good working membership. Through the influence of Mr. Wm. Falconer and Dr. Armistead and Mrs. John B. Callaway, this church was established. The church had a regular pastor, Rev. James F. Smith, and the church had a successful course for ten or fifteen years.

   Some time after this, Rev. L. L. Hill, a Methodist Protestant preacher, held services at the Grange Hall as there was no church at Snowdoun at that time. It is believed that Grange Hall was located where the Snowdoun Grocery now stands. Rev. Hill preached here and at Hope Hull for a number of years and was never know to charge for his services. Rev. Hill was the grandfather and great grandfather of the prominent doctors, dentists and lawyers by that name in Montgomery today.

   Some years after Rev. Hill served as pastor at Snowdoun, two brothers, James and W. E. McCann, held a two week revival and started the movement to build the church. Three brothers of the community - Duncan Campbell Walter, Tristam Bethea Walter and Jesse Bethea Walter - donated land and gave a large portion of the money to build the Methodist Church. About ten years after this church was built, a cyclone destroyed the building and the Walter Brothers again donated a large sum of money and more land and another building was erected. This building was located at approximately the same spot as our present church ... The following were charter members of this church: Dr. & Mrs. J. W. Callaway, Miss Nina Callaway, Mr. & Mrs. M. M. Stowers, Mr. & Mrs. W. T. Mason, Mr. & Mrs. R. C. Mason and Dr. & Mrs. J. C. Mason.

   The Snowdoun Methodist Church was placed in the circuit with LaPine in 1892. Dr. J. C. Mason, Mr. M. M. Stowers, and Mrs. David Livingston were among the first stewards. Others whose names were syonymous with Snowdoun in this worthwhile undertaking were Mr. & Mrs. Bird Merriwether, Mr. Thomas Meriwether, Mr. & Mrs. Clark Taylor, Mr. T. B. Mastin, Mrs. H. C. Lamar, Mr. & Mrs. P. J. Mitchell, Mrs. India Callaway, Curry, Mr. Frank Curray, Mr. & Mrs. T. B. Walter, Mr. J. A. Callaway and Mr. Lee Callaway Sr.

   In July 1924, the Snowdoun Methodist Church was again destroyed by a cyclone. On August 13th a meeting was called and plans made to rebuild the present church. Some of the most active in this undertaking where Mr. & Mrs. J. A. Walter Sr., Mr. & Mrs. Lee Callaway Sr., Mr. & Mrs. J. H. Smith, Mr. & Mrs. Frank Calliway, Mr. & Mrs. John P. Curray, Mr. & Mrs. Owen Green, Mr. & Mrs. George W. Dickey, Mr. & Mrs. W. I. Wilborn, Mr. & Mrs. J. M. Cutts, Mr. & Mrs. J. A. Walter Jr., Mr. & Mrs. J. C. Walter Sr., and Mr. & Mrs. C. M. Stowers.

   One of the first projects to raise money for this church building was a Snowdoun Barbecue. Snowdoun had established a reputation for serving good barbecue back in the reconstructions days and this reputation has continued through the years. An Annual project to raise funds was a booth at the State Fair in Montgomery. For five years, the men, women and children worked either at home or at the fair grounds, preparing and serving turkey dinners. When sufficient funds were raised, the present building was erected. During the short time that funds were being raised for this building, Sunday School was held at the home of Mr. & Mrs. J. A. Walter Sr. (This is the home now occupied by Mr. & Mrs. John Walter Stowers and family.)
