End of Ledger Information
The Bosque County History Book: Land and People states that the church was organized in 1927.
Other information has stated that services were conducted in that area at a local school beginning in the late 1800's.
It disbanded in 1961 and consolidated with Trinity Lutheran Church, Clifton.
Pleasant Hill is about 3 miles east of Clifton on FM 708.
If you would like additional information about the church, I'll see what I can provide.Helen Zuehlke MORRIS
