"My husband, William Bently, is clerk of Salem Baptist
Church. We have the church records at our home and have
read as far back as they go. Some of the records were
lost or either were put back in the wrong place. Some
of the books were so badly worn that we sent them to
Atlanta and had them microfilmed in 1969. Pages were
out and misplaced and we feel they did the best they
could do to get them back together as well as they did.
We hope the informatiion we are sending will be of some
help to you."
