WILLIAM DUDLEY NOWLIN, D.D., LL.D.:  William D. Nowlin served the

years he has been retired from active pastoral work.
	He was married to Miss Mattie W. Wood of Fulton, Kentucky, in 
November, 1887.  Seven children blessed this union, three sons and 
four daughters.
	For some time he served as associate editor of the Western

County Association in 1906-1908 and the Muhlenberg County Association 
in 1922-1923 and preached the annual sermon before these two 
fraternities in 1906 and 1923 respectivetively [sic].  He is the author 
of a "Kentucky Baptist History" and other subjects.  His ministry has 
been very extensive and fruitful over a period of fifty years.  For a 
number of years he was one of the most outstanding pastors in the 
Southern Baptist Convention.
