DEDICATED TO AUDREY FISHER STITH

II

The Historical Committee has endeavored to have the history authentic from the original minute books, that are on file at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky,

Any mistakes were purely unintentional and we beg your indulgence. If you have found a mistake and will let us know we will make a correction in our next book.

We would like to thank Audrey Stith especially as she researched 170 years of history.

Thank You.

Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.
Psalm 127:1

HILL GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH

The church wishes to thank our very dear friend, Lucille Shacklette Seymour, who so graciously donated her time and effort by drawing this lovely picture of the church as it appeared before the steeple and the addition. Lucille is a great, great grand-daughter of Benjamin and Eliza beth (Ashcraft) Shacklette, who were two of the founders of HILL GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH.
