DWIGHT H. WILLETT:  Dwight Willett was the son of Rev. J. J. Willett 
and was born in Dunkirk, Indiana, on October 5, 1891.  His mother was 
Miss Mary Alice Brown.  His educational advantages were good and he 
was able to attend both grade and high school and also Georgetown 
College, Baylor University, and the Southern Baptist Theological 
Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.  From these institutions he 
received the A.B., A.M., Th.M., and Th.D. degrees.  His ordination 
took place at the Berea Baptist Church, Berea, Kentucky, on March 28, 
1913.
	After serving Churches in Eastern Kentucky for some time he came 
to the Calhoun Baptist Church in 1918 and remained until the latter 
part of 1919.  His pastorates after that time were as follows: 
Nicholasville, Kentucky, 1920-1921; Walton, Kentucky, 1922-1924, 
Wornall Road Church, Kansas City, Missouri, 1924-1926; Sedalia, 
Missouri, 1932-1938; Erwin, Tennessee, 1939-1942.  Because of ill 
health he resigned the last mentioned Church in 1942 and his untimely 
death came on January 23, 1943, and his burial took place at Erwin, 
Tennessee.
	For about five and one-half years he served as teacher of Church 
History and Homiletics in the Kansas City Baptist Theological Seminary; 
this was in the period 1926-1932.  He also served as the President of 
the Missouri Baptist Ministers Conference and was a member of the 
Board of Trustees of the Missouri Baptist Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri, 
for some time.
	He married Miss Sallie Jane Siler of Jellico, Tennessee, on June 
30, 1920.  They have one or two children.  We have very few other 
particulars about his life and must be content to stop here.  After a 
ministry of thirty years he gently fell on sleep.  He leaves his aged 
father, Rev. J. J. Willett, his widow and children, and other relatives 
to mourn his passing.  His ministry was worthwhile.
