Ivey.

	The Primitive Baptist church at Ivey was organized June 3, 1854. Its members at
that time were Isaac Tinney, Susanna Tinney, J. F. Verner, Mary Tullis, Henry
Sizemore, Cicaro G. Breedlove, Susanna Breedlove. The presbytery consisted of
Elder E. B. B. Shaw, T. T. Langley.

	The church has the same decorum and the same constitution now as when
organized, and stands firm in its principles and its view of church government
and Bible interpretation. The first church building was erected in 1854. A part
of the church record has been lost and it is not known what year the present
structure was put up. The building is worth $500.

	The first pastor was T. T. Langley, who served six years; then came J. C.
Daniel, five years; N. B. Hardy, one year; W. H. Gulledge, two years; B. F.
Martin, four years; J. A. Jordan, two years; E. T. Jackson, three years; W. H.
Gulledge, three years; G. Henderson, one year; A. J. Webb, four years; G. W.
Jackson, four years; J. R. Chandler, three years; S. A. Huff, one year; J. M.
Livsey, the present pastor, has served eight years.

	Seven union meetings have been held at this church, viz; in August, 1858; July,
1870; July, 1876; July, 1882; July, 1889; July, 1897 and July, 1909.

	Two associations have met with the church. The first met there September 28 and
29, 1879, and the second, September 22, 23 and 24, 1899. The faithful clerk, Mr.
P. H. Hays, in referring to his church said, "We are few in number. The
Scriptures say that there are many called, but few chosen. So we know those who
are chosen to be the children of God. That is the reason we stand firm in the
faith that was once delivered to the saints."

	The members are J. L. Brown and M. S. Tullis, deacons, P. H. Hays, C. A.
Plunkett, H. J. Brown, R. F. Harris, B. F. Cooper, J. E. Johnson, Alice E.
Cooper, Mary Hanson, Sarah R. Hays, Odessa Plunkett, L. E. Harris, E. J. Tullis,
R. A. McCue, Odessa M. Harris, Margaret Johnson.
