'Bible castle' deeded

VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) — Vicksburg’s “Bible castle” is being taken over by a local church that hopes to preserve it.

The colorful home of the Rev. H.D. and Margaret Dennis is painted red, pink and yellow and is decorated with Bible verses, scrap iron columns, sculptures and welcoming signs of God’s love. It was decorated more than 25 years ago by the couple.

They sold the home to Cool Springs M.B. Church. The church sits directly behind the home.

Leslie Maxwell, mother of Cool Springs pastor Byron Maxwell, said that one condition was that the couple 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.

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. H.D. Dennis. The two were both 69 at the time, and Herman Dennis turned the store and home into a tribute to his wife and their faith in God.
