Conecuh Association dedicates historical marker

On May 3, Conecuh Baptist Association held a dedication ceremony for a new historical marker set in place on the property. The marker is in memory of Alexander Travis, who was instrumental in the constitution of several of the Southern Baptist churches in Conecuh County, as well as others in the surrounding counties and into Florida. Pictured are (l to r) Joey Rodgers, director of missions for Conecuh Association; Lonette Berg, executive director of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission (ABHC); Eugenia Brown, former director of missions for Conecuh Association (she held the first full-time position) and local historian; and Francis Hamilton, former ABHC representative who first started the process for creating the marker.
