Centralia Baptist Association
Originally known as the Vandalia Baptist Association (1840–1880), this association was named the Centalia Baptist Association when churches from Centralia, Mt. Vernon and other churches south of Centralia, Illinois joined the Association to become the Centralia Baptist Association in 1881. It eventually became renamed as the Kaskaskia Baptist Association (Southern Baptist) in 1912.

“You should approach Joyce’s Ulysses as the illiterate Baptist preacher approaches the Old Testament: with faith.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
