Author Description

Excerpt from Crabtree Valley Baptist Church: The First Ten Years, 1970-1980 Crabtree Valley Baptist Church is unusual in that it has elected Historians or a History Committee since its very beginning. Those who have served in this capacity in past years are: Alice Tarlton, Johnnie Grubbs, Nellie Kearney, Jack Porter, Leon and Betsy Shaw. The present committee members who have served with me since October, 1981 are: Bob Crumpler, Jean Glosson, and Ted Williams. I wish to express my appreciation to them. I appreciate the efforts of the church clerks, Jack Porter and Bob Crumpler, to keep proper records of the church's actions. I wish to thank my four research assistants who helped me prepare for writing this history: Anne Barden, Michele Cherry, Jean Andrus, and my mother Charlene Ray. I also thank Myrna Brockwell and Joe Clary and his staff for their help with the manuscript. Finally, a special word of appreciation must be said to Jean Glosson. Without the bulletins, clippings, lists, and countless other items she has carefully collected through the years, no full record of Crabtree's history would exist. She has spent hours assembling the History Albums and other files that are a treasure for the church now and in the future.
