He professed a hope in the Lord Jesus, in the time of slavery, and has served the Oak Grove Baptist church in Barren county as a deacon from the organization up to present time and has proven himself an ardent Christian since his profession. He has always been found at his post of duty as to the service of a deacon, which has purchased to him a good report from those who know him.
