Hello, Sometime back, I mention Emancipation Baptists and their role in Saline County. Somebody asked for more information and I never responded. Sorry. Here's a link to an article at the Daily Register website. I wrote the introduction to this story for the paper's Sesquicentennial edition a few years ago. The body of the article comes from the History of Liberty Baptist Church written by Ronald Nelson and the late Ralph Harrelson. Here's the link: http://www.dailyregister.com/history/emancibaptists092297.html Good reading, Jon Musgrave www.IllinoisHistory.com
