Fisk, Texas by Lena Adian from A
History of Coleman County and Its People,
1985 The Primitive Baptist Church did
not meet regularly but had all day meetings when they
did meet, with dinner served at noon. They met in the
Methodist church building and the community building
at Fisk. They had associational meetings and camp
meetings with other churches, and took their turn
hosting such meetings. Each family brought bedding and
clothes and camped out for several days. The mode of
transportation in those days made such arrangements
necessary. Wash pots were used to cook food and make
coffee. There was a pot for beans, another for stew,
roast, vegetables, etc. Families brought their own
plates, glasses, cups, and dinnerware. There was
continuous preaching and singing for the days and
nights of the camp meeting. In the twenties the church
joined with Santa Anna Church and no more meetings
were held at Brown Ranch. Association meeting of the Brown
