DEACON JOHN PHELON FUQUA:  This outstanding Church leader and Deacon 
was born in Daviess County, Kentucky, on July 29, 1858, and was the 
son of Moses P. and Louisa Phelon Fuqua.  His early educational 
advantages were very few but he became a well informed and capable 
man in later life.  During his lifetime, with the exception of the 
last few years, he followed the occupation of farming.
	He was converted at the age of fifteen and was baptized into 
the fellowship of the South Hampton Baptist Church by Elder W. H. 
Dawson.  This was in November, 1873.  In the year 1889 he became a 
constituent member of the Yellow Creek Baptist Church and was chosen 
as one of the first Trustees of the Church property.  By this same 
Church he was ordained as a Deacon in April, 1890.  He continued to 
serve in this capacity until his death.  He had previously been 
elected as the Moderator of the Church and held this office likewise 
until his death.  These records are the longest in the history of 
that Church, a period of forty-four years.  In the meantime he served 
his Church as a messenger to the Association almost annually during 
that time.
	He married Miss Elizabeth Potts on February 6, 1879.  Two sons 
and one daughter blessed the home.  One son, Phelon died at the age 
of eight.  Malcolm T. Fuqua and Mrs. Sam Riddle are still living.  
After the death of his first wife Mr. Fuqua married Miss Sallie 
Finley Thompson on April 12, 1898.  She still survives him.
	Brother Fuqua was one of the most beloved members ever to hold 
membership with the Yellow Creek Church.  He was a model of propriety 
and the Church sustained a great loss in the death of this great and 
good man.  He lived his religion and died in the blessed hope of a 
better resurrection.  He departed this life on March 11, 1934.
