The Sharon Missionary Baptist church was established in 1895, and the current building was built in 1951. On the church grounds, north of the building, a red granite monument gives the history of his land and church.
The monument has the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma and we believe it was placed by the State. The front reads:
