OZIAS CHURCH.
Ozias Church was constituted July 14, 1832. The presbytery constituting the church were Elder Wilson Conner and Elder John Martial. It was constituted with seven members to wit: John McDonald, Randal McDonald, Elijah Hunter, Penelope Hunter, Catherine McCall, Mary McDonald, Elizabeth Mc- Donald.
This church was originally a Primitive Baptist Church and Redding Hunter was the church's clerk and in 1849 his house was burned and the records were destroyed. On November 10, 1856, in conference the older heads of the church prepared a short history of the church from its constitution to that date which was approved by the church as being correct which is substantially as follows: Randall McDonald was first called to the pastoral care of the church, then Levi Bush, next Wilson Conner, next Abiger Horn, next Berry Hobbs, then David Rialls. While Rialls was pastor the membership increased to twenty-two and about the year 1844, nine members withdrew from the church and joined in the constitution of Mount Zion Church, later several more withdrew and joined Mount Zion Church and in 1848 the number had decreased so much there were few members left. About this time the church withdrew from the Houston Association on account of its joining the Georgia Baptist Convention and was opposed to missions. Warren Dikes was pastor. In 1851, they had no pastor. In 1852, while W. F. Willis was the missionary for the Houston Association through his labor the church became reconciled and became a member of the association with only six members and his labors were blessed and several were added to the church, one of whom was Hardy Hunter, Sr., and in 1854 he was ordained a deacon. For four years he has served the church as pastor (1856), baptized fifteen, some joined by letter making the membership in 1855, twenty-seven, which number was reduced in 1856 to fourteen members.
