The Bethel Baptist Church in Parmleyville, holds a rich history in Wayne County. It is the second oldest Church of the County. The
Bethel Baptist Church was erected on the third Saturday of July 1810 in Parmelysville. The Church consisted of Nine members, a 10th member joined the next day. John Parmley and his wife, Phillip Smith and his wife, Roland Burnett, Johnathan Blevins, John Smith, Easther Koger, Stephan Vaughn. The next day sister Nancy Burnett joined
On September 16, 1810, the Church chose her first pastor, John " Racoon Smith", and his brother Phillip Smith as deacon and clerk.
In the early years the Church was a very displined. Trading on the Sabbath day, Gambling, profane language, intoxication, dancing,fighting,keeping an immoral home, and many other things were looked down on by the Church, and was good cause to be ask to leave the Church. It was important for the male members to attend Church, more than the female members. If a person missed more than two consecutive Church meetings, a group was called upon to visit the Church member, and to hear the reason that they have missed Church, and then the Church member has to plead his case to the congregation to see if they can still be included as a Church member, sometimes they were forgiven and sometimes they were not. The Church was a missionary Church, it visited many outlying communties such as Bell Farm, Griffin and held many revivals
In it's years of existance, there was been 3 churches built. The first in 1810, was a log church. On the third Saturday in October 1820, a decision was set forth to build a new Church. This church was also a log Church, had 2 doors, one for men to enter through and the other for women to enter through. The orginal doorstep from this Church still exists. In 1910, a new order was presented to the Church to build a new builing, and in 1911, the present day Church was erected.
Over her years, Bethel has had many Pastors and Clerks. a few of them being;
PASTOR'S; Preston Rice, William Cooper, Jacob Moulder, and Ross Dobbs. Some of the clerks included; Lewis Davenport, Joseph Hurt, Jerimiah Burnett, Johnathan Burnett, Issac Burnett and Garner Parmley

*NOTE: This is a child of my great-grandparents, William Baxter Davis and Luvada Burnett. Im not gonna argue that this isnt where Obie Lee Davis is buried, or that is his birthdate, cause I believe that to be correct. BUT Obie Lee was alive in the 1910 Wayne County Kentucky Census,listing as age 4 yrs. But I will argue that Mary Davis, listed as a notation in the 1910 Census, by Alma Whittis Coffey was a twin Sister to Obie Lee, with the same exact dates as listed on this stone. This is either Obie Lee Davis or his sister Mary Davis. Obie Lee didnt die on January 2, 1906, I believe his sister Mary died on that date. Obie Lee died sometime after 1910.
