Mount Olive Baptist Church - Cassville, MO - Baptist Churches on Waymarking.com

I did some research to find out when this church was established. According to "Goodspeed's 1888 History of Barry County" there wasn't a good record, even at that time, as to the history of the various county churches. In fact, Goodspeed says (p. 104):

There do not appear to be any documents of the old Baptist societies extant; so that, apart from the names and dates found in marriage record (sic), the reader must rest content with the following sketches compiled from Conference and institute reports.

It then goes on to give a little history with a lot of names of people who were involved from 1883 on. The first Barry County Baptist Association meeting was held at Mount Olive Baptist in 1884. It was obviously alive and well at that time, although, according to the 1919 Minutes of the Association, Mt. Olive was organized in 1886 (that was probably when it obtained a state charter). This particular building is from 2006.
