In October, 1922, thirty-one members of the Ku Klux Klan marched into the Stephenville First Baptist Church, lined up in front of the congregation and presented a well planned program. The congregation sang the Star-Spangled Banner, and afterwards the Klansmen filed out as quietly as they had come in.
