Dean who are present to organize themselves into a Presbytery and and constitute us into a Missionary Baptist Church of Christ The Presbytery called Elder W. M. Gray as Moderator and B. H. Miller as secretary. The following named brethren and sisters bring letters from Missionary Baptist Churches:

Brethren G. L. Parker and wife, C. G. Hudson and wife, R. O. Echols and wife, J. M. Echols and wife, Brother B. B. Mitchell, Sisters Texana Echols, S. E. Parker, Ann Garrett, H. (F?)
