"The Calame Church of Wortham, Texas

Here is some of the correspondence Russ and I received from Steve Watson. I 
remember this church in the country when I was a child. It was across the road 
from the Chausse house. Sometime during WWII, the building was moved into 
Wortham where it still stands on Hwy 14.  Russ was in Wortham recently and took 
photos of the church. I'll ask him to forward them on to you.
  I've never known much about the order of worship in this church. It was sorta 
like the Quakers in that there was no clergy. I think the Calames were Huguenots  
or something like (?in Switzerland or France?) before coming to this country, 
and brought their religion with them. Originally, they settled in Montgomery 
County, Illinios, but came to Limestone/Freestone County, Texas, about 1880. I 
really don't know much about them, although my Aunt Imogene Willard was a 
Chausse and thus related to them.""
