Was a son of W. S. Pickrell, and widely and most favorably known to many still living. He was a most faithful Christian everywhere and in all things. He was always willing to assume the hardest tasks, always cheerful, hopeful, full of faith and forgetful of self. He was heard to say that he had not missed a prayer-meeting in forty years.
