Volume III Church Roll, 1913-1927

Veazey Page 113

Note by Ann E. Veazey:  Volume three of the Mount Olive Baptist Church Records had the church roll in the front of the church record book and is so copied here.  The church minutes immediately following the church roll comprise the minutes of volume three.

Note by Lula (Stone) (Burchfield) McKinney:  During the years 1915 to approximately 1923 the Gates Lumber Company Camp was located near the Mount Olive Baptist Church, and a large number of the people who worked for the company and lived at the camp site became members of the Mt. Olive Church.  My late husband, Charles Isom Burchfield, was the foreman at this camp at the time and moved his church letter to the Mt. Olive church where we met and later married.  The Company headquarters was located at Wilmar, Arkansas, and this same Gates Lumber Company was later merged into the Crosset Lumber Company.
