EAST JULIETTE CHURCH
In 1898 an interdenominational church was built in East Juliette, then called 
Glover's Mill.  This church was also used as a school until 1915 or 1916.  The 
church has often been used by Free Will Baptists, Holiness, Church of God and 
regularly by the Missionary Baptists and Primitive Baptists.  This church was 
burned in 1915 and a small new church was built by the Juliette Milling 
Company.  Rev. MINTER served the church for 20 years. Elder E.J. MADDOX 
of Chester, GA, a Primitive Baptist preacher served the church 18 years.  Rev. 
H.P. McDONALD from Welliston, Fla. Preached here for several years.

The first church was called Glover's because he had the building put up. When 
Glover sold out holdings in Juliette and the old church burned, the new church 
was called Juliette Baptist Church.  The Juliette Milling Co. gave the land and the 
present building.  The Presbytery was, Rev. W.O. SHARP, Rev. C. W. ROWE, 
Rev. J.C. ALONESON, Rev. J.T. COOPER.  Some of the early members were:

J.M. BISHOP
Claud LASTER
