He grew up on a farm and followed that occupation for a time. He attended the common schools at hand and later graduated from Bethel College, Russellville, Kentucky. He also received the Th.G. Degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. He was licensed to preach by his home Church and was ordained on April 28, 1918, with Elders W. J. Puckett, W. W. Pane, and V. B. Castleberry serving as the presbytery. Since that time he has served the following Churches: Pleasant Hill, Simpson County, 1917-1918; Lewisport, Kentucky, 1918-1922; Maceo, Daviess County, Kentucky, 1919-1921; Antioch and Hillsdale, in Tennessee. 1919-1921 and 1920- 1924 respectively; South Hampton, Daviess County, Kentucky, 1923- 1924; Hawesville, Kentucky, 1921-1923; Calhoun and Glenville, 1925- 1927; Buena Vista, Owensboro, Kentucky, 1926-1929; Lawrenceburg First, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, 1929-1937; First Church, Carrollton, Kentucky, 1937-1943. He is now at Columbia, Ky. He served as Moderator of the Daviess-McLean Baptist Association in 1928 and 1929 and as a member of the State Mission Board in 1929-1932. From 1934 to 1935 he served as a member of the Social Service Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention.

E. Tichenor of Calhoun, Kentucky. They have one son. Their marriage took place on June 18, 1926. Brother Perry received the D.D. Degree from some institution a few years ago. His wife was a teacher in the Louisville Public Schools for some time prior to their marriage. She wrote a History of the W. M.
