As a local historican, I am gathering information on an active Baptist congregation at a church called Beth Eden, located about 5 miles west of Snow Hill, MD. Is there a repository for storing information about churches that no longer exist? Where do I wrote?
Here is all the information I have been able to find on the Beth Eden Baptist Church: "Beth Eden Baptist Church was built in 1901 and rebuilt in 1904, 200 yards from the site of the originial church. Caldwell L. Byrd, 1904, wrote the minutes. Rev. J.B. Pruitt helped to rebuild, 1904-1907, at a cost of $2000. There were 75-80 members, and the church belonged to the Easton District. As of 1949 (?), services were intermittent. The fire that burned the church to the ground occurred in 1959. The Lords Supper set was in possession of Florence Webb, who died in 1966. Elizabeth Payne's niece (an heir of Florence's ?) gave it to ///// Baptist Church, Lutherville, MD, picture of church, some stained glass from windows, and pieces of brick from the foundation." written by Louise Watson, 1979
