Jacob Enoch L. Headrick, Deacon of Naomi Baptist Church, Walker County, Georgia; also Other Records and Notes

J.E. Headrick is mentioned as a deacon of the church in the death mention (brief obituary) of his mother, Mrs. Headrick (or 'Grandma Headrick). [Ref.: J.M. Coley, 'Death of Mrs. Headrick,' in 'Confederate X-Roads' (column), \Walker County Messenger\ (Lafayette, Walker County, Georgia), 28 October 1910 (via GALILEO).]

Here is a cross-reference for J.M. Coley as a presbyter of a church (Naomi Baptist) and J.E. Headrick as a deacon of that church, apparently at the time of its organization in 1898. However, Mrs. Headrick is not mentioned among the charter members listed.

Citation: Coley and Headrick (mentioned), 'Naomi Baptist Church,' History of Walker County (n.d., n.p.), page 369 (via GaGenWeb on USGenNet.org). The church was organized in 1898, and Coley and J.E. Headrick was a deacon. URL: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ga/county/fulton/walkerhistory/pg%20301-400red.pdf (accessed 18 April 2019).
