ROBERT WILLIAM LASHBROOK:  This young brother has only been in the 
Baptist Ministry for a short time but has proved himself to be one of 
our most promising preachers.  He was born at Masonville, Daviess 
County, Kentucky, on September 28, 1906, and is the son of Thomas J. 
and Cordelia Bruner Lashbrook.  He is a nephew of the late Elder 
Norris Lashbrook and is a grandson of Elder Robert T. Bruner.
	He attended the grade schools at hand and graduated from the 
Owensboro Senior High School.  He has spent some time at the Baptist 
Bible Institute in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is at present a 
student in the Western Kentucky State Teachers College, Bowling 
Green, Kentucky.
	He labored for a period of eight years with the A. & P. and 
Kroger Chain Stores, for one year as a salesman for the Union Biscuit 
Company, and for four years as a shoe salesman.
	He was converted at the age of twelve and was baptized into the 
fellowship of the Sugar Grove Baptist Church by Elder O. M. Shultz.  
He later moved his membership to the Third Baptist Church, Owensboro, 
Kentucky, and by this Church was licensed to preach in June, 1941.  
He was ordained to the ministry on August 30, 1942, by Revs. W. W. 
Harvey, A. F. Cagle, W. H. Rone, R. E. Humphreys, B. F. Waite, Walter 
Yeldell, and D. Arthur Dailey.  He served Karn's Grove Church from 
July, 1942, to February, 1943.  He has been pastor of Mt. Carmel 
Church, Ohio County, since July, 1942, and of Red Hill Church, 
Daviess County, since April, 1943.  The Mt. Carmel Church recently 
adopted full time work.  Our friend and brother married Miss Muriel 
Arline Cook on June 18, 1930.  They have two children- Robert W. and 
Donald Paul.  We predict a successful ministry for our brother.
