In January Rev. McLeod and Rev. A.L Prisoc were presented for pastor.  After two votes ending with a tie, the third vote sided for Rev. McLeod was selected.  J.K.

On December 22, James Kirkland Mixson, who had served the church for twenty-one years died. He was 43.  Services were held at the church which were attended by both members, former members and nonmembers alike for he was well known in the community. He was buried in the Flemington Baptist Church Cemetery.  

1921

In January Miles Benjamin Mixson (see #831), James’s brother, was elected as clerk and Rev. E.E. Blalock became pastor.   The year came to a close with the membership at 93.  The church assets valued at $565.00 and the pastor’s salary was $299.80 out of the total expenses of $458.80. M.B. Mixson reelected as clerk.

1922-1931

Come February the church was notified by the committee they were behind in paying the pastor salary and thought they aught to make special effort to pay up in full, a special collection was taken that Sunday.  Also in February 1922,  Rev. Blalock resigned and after preaching one Sunday.  He stated “he had enjoyed being with us and had tried to do his duty as best he could.”  A Pulpit Committee was formed.   And then in October of that year, Rev. R.Y. Waldren was called to serve as pastor.  

On Jan. 14, 1923, It was decreed, sacred to the memory of their Senior Deacon, Martin. J. Chitty, who was called to heaven on the 26th day of December 22, 1922, lacking 20 days of being 90 years of age, and having served Flemington Baptist Church as Deacon for 38 years, by order of the Church.  

Rev. R.Y. Waldren served until the end of 1924. A Pulpit Committee was formed which they then had a series of temporary pastors, C.E. McEllen, Rev. W.C. Armstrong, finally finding Rev. Guss Padgett in July 1925 which closed with M.B. Mixson being re-elected clerk.  Henry Walkup Mixson was appointed to go the annual association meeting.  

Offerings at the beginning of 1926 were dismal showing how poor the people were by the collections taken up each Sunday: January offering $3.25, March $1.37, April $12.00 for the paster and $6.60 for missions, May $22.50 for the paster, $2.75 for missions and so on through the end of the year.   In August Rev. Waldren resigned and they called Brother Dewitt Jackson of Gainesville to serve, committing to pay him $20.00 a month for an unlimited time but that was hard to meet with the Sunday service in September only bringing in $2.35.   

In December of 1926 and the first of January 1927, in Rev. Dewitt’s absence, Rev. Yeargean was called to preach.  Then in Rev. L.Q. Sheffield accepted the pastor position which he remained though the end of the year which ended with a membership of 85.   

On December 20, 1927 Miles Benjamin Mixson died at the age of 54.  He had served as clerk of the church for seven years.  

In October of 1928, Rev. Yeargean, who had resigned in the previous months, who followed by Bro. Wayne Cates who was called to be paster.
