THOMAS C. STACKHOUSE:  Elder Thomas C. Stackhouse, was of French 
extraction, and was born in Louisiana, July 2, 1840.  After losing 
his parents by death he came to Kentucky at the age of fifteen.  He 
received his education at Georgetown College where he graduated in 
1858.  He professed faith in Christ while attending college and was 
baptized into the fellowship of the Georgetown Church by Elder A. W. 
LaRue, in March, 1857.
	Brother Stackhouse was licensed to preach by the Stanford Church 
in March, 1860.  He entered the Theology department of Georgetown 
College the following fall and was ordained to the ministry two years 
later by the Mt. Gilead Church in Greene [sic] County by Elders Henry 
McDonald and John James.  He served Mt. Gilead and Greensburg in 
Greene [sic] County, and Columbia in Adair County from 1862 to 1873.
	In the year 1873 he accepted the care of the First Baptist Church 
in Owensboro and remained until the latter part of 1876.  While in 
this Association he preached the Annual Sermon in 1874 at Chestnut 
Grove Church.
	After 1876 he moved to Fayette County.  He declined a call to the 
First Baptist Church in Lexington on account of the church's 
tolerating its members in selling whiskey.  From the time he moved to 
Fayette County until the year 1919 he continued to serve churches in 
that and adjoining counties.  From there he went to West Blockton, 
Alabama, only to return in 1921 to Lexington, remaining there until 
his death on September 12, 1924.
	Brother Stackhouse was an excellent pulpit orator and was much 
loved by the people to whom he ministered.  Thomas Marshall of 
Kentucky considered him one of the three greatest orators in the state 
in his day and time.
