Pleasant View church was organized in 1858 by ten Brethren who met in Isaac Bashor’s home. It was first called Bashor’s Meeting House, using two downstairs rooms for services. In 1878 F.W. Dove donated 1 1\/4 acres of land for a church and cemetery. The name was changed to Pleasant View. Membership grew from 60 to 154, one of the largest in Tennessee.<\/span><\/p>\n
