Hi Everyone,
As I get time, I will start posting obits from The West Union Association of
Baptist Churches. I have a lot of their minute books, as my church belongs
to that association. This association has churches that are in KY & TN. I
hope that these will be of some help to someone. The earlier obits doesn't
contain that much info. Whatever I post will be ALL I have on it.
The first obits are below.
