Arthur General Baptist church

First went to church here at 6 weeks old and was reared in this church. So many good memories here.

The home to the right, you can barely see the house, the Wash/Smoke House and the all important Out House are shown clearly, is where I was raised until I was 10. Then we moved all the way around the Junction. Lived there the next 9 years. We were the first house on the right up from the gas station until Rick and Pam Woolsey put in a Double Wide mobile home next to the station.

I grew up right across from this church on highway 61. It is no longer there...it burned to the ground in the early 80's and the Baumgart family built a new home there.

To clarify: the home I formerly lived in burned, not the church in the picture.
