I just talked with Bill Woods of Madras/Concord. He has lived there all his life. His mother was a Bledsoe. He says the Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Madras is the oldest protestant church in Texas (1833). He says The First Presbyterian in Clarksville claims to be the oldest and the church moved from Madras/Shiloh, but that history records do not show that. He says some of the people may have left the Shiloh church and started one in Clarksville, but the old people of Madras say they never left Madras and the church never moved. I have been basing what I have said according to the plaque on the Clarksville Church. Bill has been burning branches/limbs at the Concord Cemetery that fell from the ice storm 2 years ago. He plans to spray weed/grass killer on at the cemetery when the johnson grass starts turning green, probably about another month. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx
