Tx Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Lamar?read=727 Surname: Garrett, Evans, Sikes, Hall, Davis ------------------------- Yes, the church was on Bonham street. It was where Hicks Muffler shop is now located and it is west of the RR tracks and east of 17th street. My home church, Immanuel Bapt., is at 17th and Bonham and Garrett Memorial was east of that. Also, my parents confirmed that Oak Park Methodist, which is just a little farther west on Bonham Street, was formed from Garrett Memorial. The church itself had a rich history and is still well remembered in this area. If you can find a date for the fire, The Paris News is archived at Paris Junior College and they probably have a copy on Microfilm. Janet Anderson
