Mt. Enterprise Baptist Church was organized September 14, 1890 and has been in continuous operation since. The church began in a building on what is now County Road 2351, and went under the name Mt. Enterprise Baptist Church of Christ for the first sixteen years or so, until it became known as Mt. Enterprise Baptist Church. The church moved to its present location in the year 1952. Wood County, Texas, was organized in 1850. In December 1878, the county courthouse burned and all records were lost. Some of the deeds were presented for re-recording, but most county records begin with January 1879. Furthermore, there is no 1890 census for this area, so the church records will be of considerable interest to any genealogists researching this county. Numerous names and lists of names can be found on these pages. The first part of this book looks at church minutes from September 1890 to August 1916, and the second part covers the minutes from September 1916 to October 1934. A portion of the Wood County Marriage Index is provided for those people mentioned in the church minutes. Photographs, a marriage index and a full-name index complement this work.
