Preaching God’s Word in Indian Territory

Description

This book contains some background information about the major denominations, biographies of several prominent missionary pastors, and newspaper items about specific congregations in Blue/Bryan County. The years covered are 1830-1910, but there are a few items about earlier or later events in order to complete a story. Quite a few churches were not formally organized until just after Oklahoma became a state. You’ll read about the work of Joseph Murrow, Ramsey Potts, Ebenezer Hotchkin, Mary Semple, Robert Hogue and many others. There are chapters about Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians as well as information about smaller denominations. Hopefully this book will provide you with some names, dates, and information you need to fill in some of the gaps in your family history. 155 pages
