I am interested in a cronology of the former "First Baptist Church", originally located at the corner of 4th & Throckmorton, in Fort Worth, Texas. The senior pastor during the period I attended (circa 1951-1953) was the infamous J. Frank Norris. The very colorful career of this eminent Southern Baptist preacher is grist for a plethora of tales, both true and of myth.

However, my main interest lies in identifying (living or deceased) a number of members of First Baptist Church, during the period specified above - my memory is fraught with 'incomplete' full, first or only last names, which admittedly makes the task somewhat improbable. These name fragmentations would include:

Nona (first) Asbrook (last) - - or similar 'last' name,

Ruth (Ruthy)(first)- last name not remembered

'Frankie' (first) stood for Frances(?) - last name not remembered

Anne (first) - last name not remembered

ALL of the above were members or attenders of First Baptist Church during the period in question 1951-1953. These young Christian ladies had a special ministry of befriending members of the armed services, stationed at area military facilities, making them welcome and otherwise organizing picnics and other beneficial activities. Their friendships and kindnesses were not lost on the many servicemen who regularly attended First Baptist, and particularly those who were a part of the weekly sunday school class for military personnel.

I am seeking persons who might have attended First Baptist Church, Fort Worth, during the perion aforementioned, and who might know or have known the persons listed above. Any information that can be shared about the whereabouts, life history or deaths of those listed would be greatfully appreciated.
