Rutherford Baptist Church

Membership List 1890-1918

"And this is my memorial to all generations; that the
generations to come might known them: Exodus 3:15

Contributed by Ruth Walsh


I do not know where this church was located in Ellis County, but it must have been located around the Forreston area since that's what I used to determine the date the G. W. L. Perry family moved to Ellis County from Alabama. The list was found in my grandmother's Bible, but we have no idea when or how she got a copy. Grandma died in 1972. The list did not define the abbreviations used in the When & How columns. Southern Baptist church clerks, who work with nineteenth and early twentieth century church records, tell me that "Exp." probably was used to denote an "oral explanation of faith" and that "Restored or Restoration" probably was used to denote a person whose membership had been moved to another church or one who had been expelled and then returned to the folds of the church. Southern Baptist Churches used to expel members who committed such sins as drinking, dancing, going to the circus, etc. A sinner who had been expelled had to "rededicate their life" to be "restored" to the folds of the church. Reminder: Researchers should check for variant surname spellings and multiple listings.

[This file was not linked from any menu and was in very bad shape, so visitors have never had it available until now. I am sorry that this list in the current format, but it was much worse when I found it in it's abandoned state. It will take a great amount of work to place this amount of information into a table so it will have to wait for now, but it is at least semi-readable. -- Rob Yoder]

[Lucky day! I located 5 files where Barbara Knox had begun working at inserting the names and data into tables. She managed to move 204 lines into the table before she stopped for some reason. -- Rob]
