"The Cullman Baptist Association of Cullman County, Alabama was organized in July of 1883 with eleven charter members. For six decades, until 1946 when the organization divided in two, there were as many as one hundred twelve churches represented at its annual meeting. Lillie Crawford has carefully extracted excerpts of the minutes from this event and the end result is a generous and reliable source of information for genealogists; and for historians, a time capsule of early life in this still thriving community. Statistical tables from each year record data about the attending churches, pastors, clerks, post offices and membership numbers. Hundreds of surnames are represented in the various lists of attending delegates, ministers, committee appointments, petitioners, and even deceased members.
