Brown's Creek community (black community)

Community:  African Americans established Brown's Creek Community 
  after Emancipation.  Most migrated from the nearby area around Stewards Mill 
  and Ward Prairie.  The Brown's Creek or Titus Farm Community was around Big 
  Brown Creek. Brown's Creek is located on the northern shores of the modern
  Fairfield State Lake, adjacent to the southern side of Big Brown Coal Mining 
  Plant. The Hope Well Methodist Episcopal Church, Hope Well 
  Cemetery, Titus Farm School, Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Heroines of Jericho, 
  and F.A. and A.M. Masons were established at Brown's Creek.

Church:  Hope Well Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1874 in a log
  cabin on land given by Ned and Chloe Titus.  J.A. and F.E. Hill later donated 
  an acre of land to the Northern Texas Methodist Episcopal Conference for 
  Hope Well Methodist Church on January 29, 1881.  On July 28, 1968, Hope Well 
  Methodist Church merged with Jones Chapel United Methodist Church in 
  Fairfield.

Cemetery:  Henry and Susan Titus on July 7, 1888, gave the land for the 
  Hopewell cemetery, where their son, Arthur, was buried.  The cemetery has been 
  in use ever since.
