These buildings were photographed in 1995,
by Liz.
Many thanks to Emily and Tom for the identification of them.

The photos above show the old Missionary Baptist Church in Dozaville, on Kaskaskia
Island.
In the early 1900's, it had a fairly large congregation. Most of the records
are lost and
unknown, as the preachers would take them with them as they left for another
location.

After the Lawrence's lived there Alberta (daughter of Pearl and Edith Lawrence)
and Billie Joe Lankford lived there and it was sold to Hubert and Ella LaRose after the 1973 flood. They kept it until the 1993 flood and I
understand that they sold it to the US Government in a buy out program. I do
not think there is anything there at this time. |
