[or-roots] First Baptist Church

[Leslie Chapman]

Okay, with Linda and Robyn's help I figured it out. I coulda done this on my
own if I wasn't being lazy, but I thought maybe I'd stir the list up a bit.

Robyn sent me a post card image of a wooden church and a link to an image on
Ebay;

Linda explained to me that it is now "The Shedd" which indeed is the very
same building, then with a bit of further search I determined that the post
card probably was the building Cousin Viola was married in.

I am pretty sure the pastor pictured here is probably Dr. Vance H. Webster,
mentioned in the following article.

According to this article the one in the post card probably was at 8th and
Pearl, ooops, okay I see that is the opposite corner of the same block. I
was thinking Pearl was further east. Anyway Charles L. Trawin is the name on
the wedding license and he took over the church in September and cousin
Viola was married in December so they were in the old building.

Does anyone know where the First Baptist Church in Eugene would have been in
1925. At least I assume it is Eugene, it is Lane Co and the minister is of
the 1st Baptist Church of Eugene. My something or Other cousin Viola Foster
Married Hobart Campbell there on 27 th December 1925.
