A History of the Smyrna Baptist Church of Rusk County, Texas, 1873-2008: 135 years in three southern Rusk County communities, J. W. Griffith, R. L. Vaughn, Mt. Enterprise, TX: Waymark Publications, 2009

• Page 55: Change “Bro. Vaughn was ordained by the church on January 27, 1940…” to “Bro. Vaughn was ordained by the church on January 28, 1940…”
• Page 112: Change “Gilford H. Vaughn Aug. 28, 1938  Jan. 27, 1940…” to “Gilford H. Vaughn Aug. 28, 1938  Jan. 28, 1940”

Both Gilford’s ordination certificate and a report in the Baptist Progress give the date as January 28 (“Bro. Gilford Vaughn Ordained,” C. E. Banks, Baptist Progress, Thursday, February 8, 1940, pp. 7-8). Centennial + 5 (p. 36), written from notes based on Smyrna Church records, gives January 27th. This discrepancy may be as simple as a typo in Centennial + 5. The Smyrna Church minutes were destroyed in a house fire and are no longer available to inspect to see what was recorded there.
