Give Me That Old-Time Oil City Religion

A look at the churches of early Oil City. Prior to 1911, no record of a church of any denomination existing in the communities making up present day Oil City (Ananias, Caddo City, and Surry) has been so far found. As with most of my blog pages, this will be a continuous work-in-progress.
