Baptist Industrial Academy

In 1914, two new local institutions were incorporated. One was the Baptist Industrial Academy, with the Rev. James Kelly and the Rev. L. J. Campbell as trustees. The other was the Union Baptist Church.

One year later, the Saint Philips Parish of the Protestant Episcopal Mission was formed. Named leaders included Alexander A. Pierre, senior warden; Samuel P. Hodges, secretary; and vestrymen: James C. Rutlege, junior warden; Thomas L. Morris, E. J. Snyder, C. E. Verdier.
