First Baptist Church Centennial Directory 1887 1987 PDF Download

Excerpt from A History of First Baptist Church, Garner, North Carolina: A Centennial Celebration, 1887-1987 Further, it is known that J. J. Bagwell lived in the second house east of Hayes Chapel. This house at 401 Old Garner Road was later owned and occupied by the P. K. Banks family from 1920 to 1975 when Mrs. Banks (mrs. Portia) sold it and moved to Raleigh. Mrs. Portia states that her family bought the property from the Bagwells and that 1898 is carved on the porch. Even If this date represents the building of the present house, it is likely the property ser\ed some role in the church's formation. As information was being gathered from monuments in the Hayes Chapel Cemetery, Mr. Garland Carroll, often the cemetery caretaker, came from his house across the street. He remembered a one - room schoolhouse situated on the east side of the church. This school building can join the other sites in today's speculation about the first location of Garner Baptist Church.
