South Western Baptist August 30, 1863
The churches at Lineville and Bethel have been somewhat revived. The first named 
church a week's meeting was held, some 20 professed conversions, 6 added by 
baptism and 3 by, letter, and many left mourning and inquiring the way for 
salvation. I had Bro. James Jordan with me all the time. Then I came to Bethel. 
We continued a week, and many seemed to be anxious to learn the way of salvation. 
Only 4 were baptized. I had Bros. John Teague and Wm. Witt to assist me. 
There are some other indications of rivals.
Joseph C. Beverly, Oakfuskee, Ala, August 30, 1863
