Excerpt from A Historical Treasury: A History of Hickory Grove Baptist Church, Bladenboro, N. C., 1834-1969 This writer would like to express appreciation to all who have assisted in making the history of Hickory Grove Baptist Church available; especially Seth Lewis, who has faithfully worked hand in hand with me. He has assisted in gathering materials for the history and proofread the manuscript and looked after the details of getting it printed for the church. We commend him for his untiring efforts and the inspiration he has provided for us all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
