Comments

This is Mark Baptist Church SW of Bloomfield just off Hwy 63. The house is the parsonage. My father in law pastored here from 1998-2005. Around 2004 the church building was lifted off its foundation and moved W up the road to the corner on the hwy. A fellowship hall and later a youth center were built on.
The house is still there. My wife and her brother spent many hours climbing the big tree in the lower LH corner and playing on the swing set next to it. Behind the house and church is a pasture where a guy kept beef cattle. Sometimes they would break through the fence, and my father in law (a city boy) would take a rake and try to chase the cattle back into their pasture! My wife loved spending ages 7-14 here.
