Notes
Holy Innocents Church was founded in 1872 as a mission Sunday school at the corner of Ponce de Leon and Juniper Streets. In 1878 a tornado demolished the structure and Holy Innocents' moved from home to home, until a location on Spring Street could be built in 1896. In 1954, the ministry moved to the Sandy Springs area, a suburb of Atlanta.
