My grandfather attended college 1908-1912, not sure what the name of the school was. Was there a Rusk College in Cherokee Co then, or would he have been at the Jacksonville Baptist College? He was preparing to be a Baptist minister.

Rusk College opened in in Sept.1895 in Rusk,Texas and was opened under the
name Cherokee Baptist Ass. The name was changed several times and in 1918 it
became Rusk College. The school closed in 1928. More can be found in (The
Hills Of Cherokee) by Hattie Joplin.

Am looking for information about Owens Chapel Church (Baptist, I think)

Would like to learn more about this little church, its history, etc....would
appreciate any leads.
Many thanks,
Clarece Allen
