Fire damages Mississippi church where Faulkner was married

A Lafayette County firefighter inspects the College Hill Presbyterian Church, near Oxford, Miss., Sunday morning, Aug. 14, 2022, after a Saturday night fire destroyed the majority of the historical structure. The church which was built in 1844, is where William Faulkner and his wife, Estelle, were married in 1929 — two decades before the novelist received the Nobel Prize in literature.
