Yalobusha Baptist Association Minutes
1920s

The 1920 Associational Meeting was with Oakland church on October 6-7.

Officers were: Rev. J. H. G. Hewlett, moderator; T. T. Gooch, clerk; J. H. Oakes, treasurer.

No mention is made in the minutes of this meeting of a report from the committee appointed the previous year an reorganization. A favorable report doubtless was made, for Grenada County Baptist Association was organized this year and the churches of the county appear no more in the Yalobusha Association minutes.

For 84 years the Yalobusha Baptist Absociation had written a history of Baptist work second to none in the State of Mississippi.

Statistics on the churches of the Association, including those of Grenada Comitty, are given in the minutes of this session. They follow:

The information for this abbreviated history of Yalobusha Baptist Association was had by the Historical Committee of First Baptist Church, Grenada, Mississippi, in its research for the church history - A Christian Heritage.

There are many gaps in the account. But the facts we do have should make us grateful for the faith of those who made this long and Spirit filled history, and for the faithfulness of the God who sustained them and richly blessed their work.
