Oldest church building in Palo Pinto, for congregation believed to have been first of any faith worshipping here. Organized 1857 in home of Dr. Stephen S. Taylor, a lay preacher. Members built church in 1882-1883. Despite 1883 storm damage, building has been in continuous use -- sometimes by other faiths during their early years. Addison and Randolph Clark, founders of Texas Christian University, were early pastors. (1968) |
