Ellettsville Baptist Church News
On Saturday Night the pastor baptized eight converts in the baptistry at the Baptist Church at Ellettsville. The candidates were Mr. W.E. Gilliland, Mrs. Maude Gilliland, Miss June Gilliland, Miss Agnes McNeely, Miss Helen Bauer, Miss Eva Buchana, Mrs. Mary Manors, and Master Albert Gillaspy.

Found this notice while searching newspapers at NewspaperArchive.com for mention of my relatives.
The Miss June Gilliland was my maternal great-grandmother. The W.E. Gilliland was her uncle, William Everett Gilliland and the Maude Gilliland was William's wife, Maude Nell (Arthur) Gilliland. June was 12 years old at the time, William was 25.
William Everett Gillilland was the son of Robert Farrell and Mary Ellen (Swafford) Gilliland. Mary was the grandmother of June Gilliland, and raised her after her mother's death.
This tidbit of my ancestor's life was interesting to find, and is also evidence that June was using the Gilliland name, rather than her birth name of Davis. June was a Baptist later in life in Elwood, Indiana as well.
