Baptism in Floyd County in 1921

In 1921 Virgil Lemons, pastor of First Baptist Church in Lockney officiated at Baptism of Germany Ferguson somewhere in Floyd County. Germany stood 6'9 and Pastor Lemons was 5'5 so this is no optical illusion. Many thanks to Brent Lemons for providing this photo of his grandfather performing a baptism.
