I saw a reference to Prairie Chapel locals and wondered if this might be the same vicinity as Prairie Hall M. A. Church South from about 1893 to 1930. I believe Prairie Hall was in the vicinity of Paradise in Drew Co... I stopped in Drew Co. a couple years and visited the library in Monticello and found old maps that had Paradise on the map. Our visit was short so did not follow up. To make a long story short, my grandmother, Nora Higgins was born in Drew Co. and I believe at Paradise. Her parents were William Alexander Higgins and Melissa Clay West Higgins, both are buried in Baker Cemetery. Nora married Robert Jefferson Walker, Oct 29, 1899 in Drew Co. (Bob Walker was born in Grant Co and his parents died when he was about 2 years old and when he was about 13 years he went to live with his Uncle Bert Wood in Drew Co. My father (Thomas Newton Walker born Sep. 29, 1905) and his siblings were also born in Drew Co. at Paradise. Bob Walker moved his family to Grant Co near Prattsville. My grandmother had a church record for Prairie Hall M. A. Church South. I typed the record into an MS Works Spread Sheet several years ago and indexed the record. I mailed a copy to the Drew County Museum in 1996. I do not know if they still have this record. I have copied the register of pastors into this e-mail. A question mark probably means something was there but I could not decide what it might be. The earliest date I recall in the record is 1883. The latest was about 1930. If you have a specific name you would like looked up, I would be happy to see what is listed. My e-mail is rommwalker@aol.com REGISTER OF PASTORS Prairie Hall M. A. church South NAME DATE OF APPOINT.
