Hi, Carla-- I am really looking forward to seeing your transcription of the Junction City Baptist Church minutes! It was also very nice of you to send the items concerning the Boswell family along. This is going to help me more than you know. For instance, the very first entry-- > March 7, 1908 > Sunday School organized – Officers elected for Sunday School and Sunday > School organized. > > S.F. Hart, Supt. > Mr. David Highsmith, Asst. Supt. > Mrs. Mattie Blythe, Teacher, Bible Class > Mrs. Bessie Montgomery, Teacher, Intermediate Class > Miss Clyde Blythe, Teacher, Infant Class > J.W. Boswell, Sec. and Treas. > Mrs. C.W. Moon, Organist includes Ada Boswell's husband (David Highsmith), her sister (Bessie Montgomery) and a mystery Boswell--J. W., probably a John or James whose middle initial I do not have. Thank you very much. walt boswell [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 12:05 PM Subject: [GATALBOT] The Boswell Family from Junction City, Ga > Mr. Boswell, > > It's nice to hear from you!
