Church Is 112 Years Of Ase | The Centennial and Homecom ing at Peaehtree Baptist Church Sunday will cover a period of 112 years.

Elizabeth Hughes, John Timpson and Lucy Timpson. The two last named chanter members were Cherokee Indians. The minutes and history of Peaehtree Baptist Church for the period covering the first 50 years have been lost and very little in formation is available. The first building was a log house which stood above the highway from where the new church now stands. The next building was a frame structure at about the same place as the old log house. These two buildings stood and served the people as a place of worship until ihe present new stone building was begun in 1948. The log build ing was torn down, and the frame building was erected in 1880. Two churches have gone out from Peaehtree Baptist Church during the years, both constituted in 1912. Upper Peachftree a<nd Mt. Zion within a radius of six miles. These two offsprings have a special invitation to the Centennial of the mother church. The possibility of naming all the pastors for this period of 112 years is somewhat difficult. If some are left out it will be for the reason of lost records and not intentionally. Mentioned first are the pastors that have passed on to their reward. The first pastor (Continued on page 4) J. Marse Grant Is New Editor Orphanage Paper J.
