The Baptists of Yesteryear in Comanche Texas
L. B. Russell recalls the early Baptists of Comanche from childhood through the 1890s. He notes humble beginnings, key figures such as Sam Powers and J. T. Harris, the church’s move from a wooden to a brick building, and the 1882 83 construction funded by local donors. He honors pioneer preachers and calls for enduring faith in a future temple.
