This is the Great Wilgus [Old Baptist] Baptizing in 1951. (People are watching up in the trees!) Rev. 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.
