Wolfe City's Ebenezer Baptist Church Receives 100th Hunt County Historical Marker

Texas General Land Office

Carol Taylor, Hunt County Historical Commission chairman, says the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Wolfe City recently received the 100th historical marker presented in Hunt County.  The predominantly-black church was founded in 1889 by a committee made up of men and woman, and blacks and whites, very unsual for the time.
