Pastor George Stewart of First Presbyterian Church of Beeville with some members at the dedication of the church's historical marker. The marker states: "Presbyterians in Beeville began meeting together informally as early as 1885. In 1890-91 the Rev. Henry Ruffner Laird (1842-1925) was sent to officially organize a congregation in Beeville, and this church was begun with twenty-six charter members. A sanctuary was built on the corner of Walton and North St. Mary's streets in 1892, and much surrounding property was acquired by the church in the succeeding years. In 1968 the congregation merged with the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church to form the First Presbyterian Church of Beeville. Texas Sesquicentennial 1836-1986"
