BAPTIZING HOLE A spot on the east bank of the Amite River, midway between 

Mrs. Harrell's Ferry and Cave Bank on the old Baton Rouge and Springfield

Public Road (Section 55, T7S-R2E) acquired this name because it was used 

through the 1920's for baptismal services by members of Hebron Baptist 

Church. --- Mrs. Anita Durand Buess
