Smyrna Baptist Church - Winnsboro, TX - Baptist Churches on Waymarking.com

A 1969 Texas Historical Marker was placed here by the first pastor's descendants to honor the church's centennial, and it provides a brief sound byte about the church's establishment and early history:

Organized first Sunday in June 1869 under a pine tree, by the Rev. Jacob Ziegler, aided by elders. There were 18 constituting members.

A Sabbath school was organized in November 1878. Original 2-story building housed church, lodge and school.
