1913: Still another Olivet Baptist Church News Note

If the congregation burned the mortgage, it is unlikely that the building in an earlier photo was the original edifice.

Perhaps an Olivet Baptist member will come along and straighten me out.

1913: Pastor Case Olivet Baptist Church

That little church on the corner of Mulberry Street and Ohio Avenue has an historic heritage all its own. My research indicates that the little edifice dates back to the Civil War era; 1863 to be exact. I haven't found any further information as to whether the early establishment of this church was on the site above, nor if the building is the original. Research continues. If any visitor familiar with Olivette Baptist Church can fill me in, I would appreciate the information. It will be added to this post and the Hamilton Library's digital Local History files.
