First Baptists Plan 70th Birthday Celebration
The First Baptist Church outlines a seventy fifth anniversary in 1929 with plans to invite former pastors Dr John A. Early and Dr R E Williamson. Goals include adding 75 families, reducing building debt by 7500, and boosting membership by 15 percent. Financials show over 18000 in year receipts and benevolence surpassing Iowa convention quota. New officers and committees are elected at a 6:30 picnic meeting.
