Ground Breaking For Church Addition: Two-and-a-half-year-old Jo Ann Tennyson seems a bit apprehensive as she assists the Rev. William R. Shaw, pastor of the First Baptist Church at 1110 W. Cross St., Ypsilanti (with shovel), break ground for a new $99,000 three-story Sunday school building addition to the church yesterday afternoon. Encouragement came from onlookers, including her father, the Rev. John W. Tennyson, assistant pastor (left), and church members in the background.
