THE EUFAULA ASSOCIATION.
Organized in 1867, is perhaps the oldest Colored Association in
Alabama. Its chief founders were: Revs. William McCoo and Jerry
Shorter, and Deacons J. E. Timothy, of Eufaula, and Byrd Day, of
Glennville. This body is peculiarly organized on some lines. For
example: Their Sunday School work is divided into districts, which
districts, under their several leaders, hold so many meetings a year at
different centers of the population. A carefully prepared program is
carried out, led on by certain persons who have been previously named
and informed. And they have a preachers’ association.
