Carl.

	The Carl Baptist church at Carl, Ga., was organized October 22, 1895. The
presbytery was composed of Rev. J. C. Johnson, Rev. J. 'M. Williams, Rev. N.
Bailey.

	The following were the charter members: Dr. E. H. Hale, Annie Hale, Mary Hale,
Stellie Hale, G. W. Pitman, Mrs. G. W. Pitman, J. D. Wright, Mrs. M. J. Perry,
Minnie Perry, Nina Perry.

	Rev. J. C. Johnson was elected moderator of the presbytery, and John Jones
clerk. The charge was given by Rev. J. M. Williams.

	On the ninth of the following February, the church met and called Rev. B. F.
Elliot as the first pastor. He did not serve but a few months. During his
service three came in by letter: Bro. Mossey and wife, Mary Mossey, and D. J.
Williams.

	On Nov. 22, 1896, the church called Rev. J. M. Williams as pastor, and he
served for about 12 years up to  his death. The church had a steady growth while
he served. Rev. G. L. Bagwell then served for one year. The church then called
Rev. J. B. Brookshire, the present pastor.
