I love trying to figure out obscure references like this. I would be interested to know the full context of "Baptist, WA." Is there any chance that WA doesn't mean Washington State, but something else? For example, doing a search for that exact phrase brings up hits that are not for Washington, but Western Australia, the abbreviation for which is WA. Other variations of WA--Wash, Washington--bring up Washington, DC locations.
