History of St Matthew's Episcopal Church Comanche
The 87 year old St Matthew's Episcopal Church in Comanche, nicknamed The Little Church with a Great Program, shows growing involvement with 47 members and broad lay participation. Rector Father Truman E. Bennett splits time with Hamilton, holding services weekly and visiting homes midweek. The piece traces early history from 1870s, noting bishops, chapels, baptisms, weddings, and staff, and cites a 1924 Chief article by Miss Lizzie Ford.

Comanche Saints Unite Then Split in School Revival Tale
In Comanche memories, Sunday Schools and church groups once met at the college, later split as churches built their own. The last Union Sunday School meeting at the old college ended with reflection by Prof. Dave Switzer and others before the Union dissolved. Nearby fans recall UT Longhorns defeating Baylor 27 12 in Waco, listing local attendees. Trade note offers to swap jigsaws for guns or coins at Bonser Print Shop.
