Stewards Mill Baptist Church
at Stewards Mill, Texas

In 1894, a Baptist Church was organized at Stewards Mill with six charter 
members: Alexander Tazewell Watson; Martha Whitaker Watson; Mattie Lake; Mary 
Lake; Mrs. Mattie Awalt Bass; Mrs. Minnie Awalt Speed. The Baptists met once a 
month. Occasionally the Primitive (Hardshell) Baptists met in the building, too. The 

At a later date, the Baptists constructed their own building about one-quarter 
mile west of the Stewards Mill Store and had preaching weekly. Brother Z. Z. 
Nobles often preached there and was much loved by the entire community. That 
building was later demolished.
