Raymond Dillon and Forest Robinson officiated, baptizing 34, including 14 from our family. Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, et al. had attended a revival in Palestine. This looks like Grandma…The photo belongs to Rena Snouffer, and trying to locate the records that may show all that was baptized that day – **Photo Courtesy of Don Delawder**‎ posted on The Lawrence Register Facebook Group 2015

That info came from an old church book. I have a copy of the page where those who joined the church after the baptism. Copies should be at the museum.
