In October 2018, the Sandy Creek Baptist Church authorized and funded historic memorials of six pioneer colonial original members of the church, under the leadership of Lynn Routh. Authorization included the new footstone research, design and procurement by York & Associates Family Histories, Inc. a 501c3 (pending) nonprofit for a future installation in 2019. Genealogist and Family Historian Dennis York researched and designed these memorial stones as facilitated by Lynn Routh, Chairman of the Cemetery committee. Dennis York, Son Mark York and John York, brother of Dennis York traveled from Dallas, Texas area to install the six new memorial stones on Friday 10 May 2019 with the aid of Lynn Routh, Franklin Allred and Terry Jones.
On Saturday 11 May 2019, cousins visited and enjoyed a delicious buffet luncheon provided by the members of the Sandy Creek Baptist Church. During the luncheon, a genealogical history presentation of the ancestry for the individuals honored by their memorial stone. This familiarized them for the following dedication service in the cemetery. Rev Travis Brock made remarks and conducted the dedication service of these six original church members. These colonial Routh and York members settled in this Sandy Creek community over 250 years ago in about 1755-1760. A group of Routh and York descendants attended the event under cloudy skies with very light showers under two tents provided by Terry and Paula York. Tours of the Primitive Baptist Sandy Creek 1802 log cabin on a nearby hill completed this historic service.
