This photograph by Kelly Hazel portrays the Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness, located in beautiful Flat Rock, North Carolina.

St. John in the Wilderness Episcopal Church, listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, offers a unique perspective of prominent families in southern and national history. St. John in the Wilderness was built as a private chapel in 1833, on the grounds of Charles and Susan Barings' home, Mountain Lodge. The church was deeded to the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina in 1936. Many well-known members of southern aristocracy have family plots in the churchyard, those names include: Christopher Memminger, first secretary of the Confederate treasury; Rev.

King, the World War II General who led the infamous Bataan death march. http://www.visitnc.com/listing/st-john-in...
