was held with the Fort Gaines Baptist Church, October 24th, 25th, and 26th, 1916
a petitionary letter from Mt. Ararat was presented to the Association for
membership and the committee appointed to report on the letter reported
favorably to its reception and on motion the church was admitted to membership.
The Moderator extended the right hand of fellowship to its messengers. Bros. E.
W. Jones and Dennis Willis and thus Mt. Ararat Baptist Church joined the
