Ida Hawkins and Annie McLaughlin got off the train in Elberton, Georgia, the fall of 1912. They walked to Mt Airy where they got a building for meetings. Those who professed were: Jud McConnell, Ernest Harper, Viola Elford, Mr. and Mrs. Dawkins, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Ramey, Mr. and Mrs. Charaley Trotter, Mr. and Mrs. John Allen, and others. A Sunday morning meeting was started in the Dawkins home.
They then came to the Camp Creek Community and secured the Baptist Church building for meetings. When the pastor returned they were put out, but then they used a rental house that belonged to Mr. Ferguson. The Fergusons, Loudermilks, Caudells, Mr. and Mrs. Nunnally, and others professed, and a Sunday morning meeting was started in the Ferguson home. About 40 were baptised.
The fall of 1913, Ida and Dora Thomas went to Winterville and had a mission in the Beaverdam Community. The ones who professed were the Gabriels, Hancocks, Brambletts, James, Mrs. Myers, Miss Alice Martin and brother Charley, Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Melton (4 sisters and 1 brother),and some others. The Sunday morning meeting was started in the Hancock home.
In the Spring of 1914, Ida and Annie came to Demorest and tried for the Baptist building for meetings and were refused. Jim Ramey had moved from Mt Airy near his brother Marion in White County who had professed and moved to the Demorest area. The girls had a six week mission in the Remey home. Those who professed were Mae and Fred Ramey, Annie Tench,the Stameys, and Bell Brock. Wilsons professed later.
