VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) - Vicksburg, Mississippi's, "Bible castle" is being taken over by a local church that hopes to preserve it.
The red, pink and yellow home of the Rev. Herman and Margaret Dennis is decorated with Bible verses, scrap iron columns, sculptures and welcoming signs of God's love.
The home that was once Margaret's Grocery was turned into a sort
of biblical castle 25 years ago when Margaret met and married the Rev. Dennis.
The couple sold the home to Cool Springs M.B. Church, on condition that they be allowed to live there as long as they were able. Margaret Dennis died Oct. 5 at the age of 94. Herman Dennis has lived at the Vicksburg Convalescent Home for years.
