Dunker Church. Sharpsbug vicinity. Established by German Baptist Brethren. The name from the practice of full immersion as in "They are real 'Dunkers'". Site of the battle for this ground held by Jackson's Corps in the bloodiest one day of US history -- marks of musketry on sunny side above door and windows. Many a soldier fell about this old church that day. This is a most appropriate place and time to reflect on the Southron soldiers on Confederate Memorial Day 2012.
