The Second Baptist Church of Paris (colored) was
organized in 1867. The pastors here have been James Hawkins, Clay
Vaughn, Wm. P. Brooks and James Hawkins, who is now the pastor.
The brick church edifice which they occupy is 36x60 feet in
dimensions and is valued at $1,200. It was built in 1864 by the
Old School Baptists (white) and purchased by the colored church in
1880.
