Found on ebay! This old card is great and shows two churches in Searcy Arkansas in approximately 1909 when the card was postmarked.
The First Methodist Church on the right has been cherished, pampered, and its historical value perpetuated. Alas, the one on the left, assumed by me to be First Baptist Church, has been torn down and a new church built. First Methodist, I believe, dates back to somewhere around 1875 and is located at 304 N Main Street. Perhaps my historians will finish the dates for me.
First Methodist has added on, spread out, and grown but has always kept the look that you see on the card. I feel like bragging about it right now on this blog!
In case you wonder, I paid $5 for the card on ebay........a high price to pay for 100 year old paper!
The First Methodist Church of Searcy Arkansas today. See other Methodist Church blogs below.
