The family moved to San Augustine in 1940, where they became active members of First Baptist Church. John Sr., a member of the deacon body, was instrumental in the planning and construction oversight of the present sanctuary. Imogene was supportive in all endevors of the church, especially those in which her husband or children were involved. She was a GA leader during Janell's growing years. A wonderful cook, she was ready and willing to assist with church dinners and special events.
