Walking Tree headed for Coffey Hole - or Big Race?



2011-06-20 - Widland, Adair Co. District 2, Columbia, KY - Photo Anonymous Submission.
CM received this photo from a photographer who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious shortcomings, of the famed White Oak Church Walking Tree made famous in the great photo by Tommy Bailey (see Tree with Two Legs). The photo above is interesting. It appears it is hellbent on getting to the Coffey Hole, possibly for a baptizing or a picnic, crap shoot, on the gravel bar: or, perhaps it wanted to be a third party to one of the famed Oris Aaron vs. Denzemore Miller footraces from Montpelier to Russell Springs, which Oris always won. If so, it is several decades late.

When night baptizings came to Mouth of Butler

Ann Goff writes:
When I was reading this article that Richard Raines had written about being baptized at the Mouth of Butler, it brought back a lot of memories of the good services that we have had there on that creek bank.

One night when we were in a service at Purdy Separate Baptist church, this lady got up and said "I want to go to the creek and be baptized tonight."She had been afraid of water but God had let her know that she needed to be baptized. This was the first baptizing that we had ever been to at night, but not the last. There was one to be baptized and it ended up with sixteen being baptized with eight of them getting saved there on the creek bank.

This was the night that Rebecca Cowan Smith got saved. It was a wonderful service with a lot of rejoicing. A lot of people were stopping to see what was going on, and I'm sure they got blessed too. - Ann Goff
