History of  Ten Mile
 
I'm pleased to reproduce here a small 20 page history published by the Ten Mile Church on the occasion of its centennial.  The publisher was the Baptist Book Concern of Louisville, and the date is 1904. The author is the pastor at the time of the centennial, Rev. Lafayette Johnson, although he only refers to himself as "L. Johnson" in the text.
Persons interested in Gallatin County history should take special note of Rev. David Lillard.  The man's accomplishments made him almost legendary in his own time, and the argument could certainly be made that no man has ever had a greater influence on the citizenry of Gallatin County.
This is the complete text of the book, including pictures, and the captions on those pictures.  The chapter headings are mine, to break up the look of the text.
