Cloudy, snow. After a warm night, it is snowing this morning We went to church with Jennings & Elizabeth. Olinger church come over and baptized a man & wife this eve. I went down to Mrs. White's a few minutes late. We missed church tonite.
Footnote: Jennings is her brother and Elizabeth is his wife and they live nearby. Olinger is a small community about 5 miles away from Deep Springs. The Deep Springs Baptist church had a baptismal inside the church - they believe in full immersion in water. I am guessing the Olinger church didn't have such a facility. I wonder where they baptised all the other believers. Maybe in the river at Olinger. I remember going to a "baptising" in the river at Dryden, near where Larry Flanary lived. I think it is the same place that Larry's small daughter drowned. Now the bridge that passes over that river was dedicated to our great-grandfather, Dr. Daniel Sheffey Reasor and bears his name - thanks to the efforts of Stephen Reasor. Mrs. White is a friend and neighbor. Can't believe she missed church.
