Was born in Louisa County, Virginia. Three of his maternal great-uncles were preachers in the church of Christ. He was educated under the tutorship of Capt. John Richardson, that prince of teachers, for six years, and then at Transylvania University and the College of the Bible, Lexington, Kentucky.

He has labored widely in many of the States. Has been State evangelist of Maryland, Georgia and Kentucky. Has held important pastorates in the East.

Is now located at Greensburg, Indiana; has charge of the church there, but also evangelizes a good deal. He is thoroughly equipped for his work, has had splendid success in many fields, and can expound the old Book--which he knows--unto edification and with great clearness.
