That sounds like a reference to the original Mill Creek Baptist Church
(there is a current-day church by that name, but it isn't descended
from the earlier church). I am the person who mapped the Mill Creek
Baptist Church Graveyard, and am a board member in a nonprofit
organization, Friends of Mill Creek Baptist Church Graveyard, Inc.,
that maintains the graveyard. The Mill Creek Baptist Church was
located within the graveyard property, a couple of miles away from
where this node in question is located. It might possibly have been a
different church of some other denomination. Before removing it, I
will post a question to a Facebook group that discusses local history,
and see if anyone can tell me if there was ever a church there.
I have now learned more on a local-history Facebook group. The location
on Antioch Pike is the original location of the Mill Creek Baptist
Church congregation that now meets on Wallace Road, about two miles
away. This congregation is not descended from the original Mill Creek
Baptist Church, which was about two miles away in a different direction.
