FREDERICK TANNER:  The subject of this sketch was born September 10, 1792, in
Boone County,  Kentucky, and united with the Beaver Dam Church in 1811, being
baptized by  Elder Benjamin Tolbert.  He united with the Tanner's Meeting House
Church  (Buck Creek) in 1813.  Buck Creek Church saw his services as clerk from
about  the year 1814 to 1824.  He was licensed to preach by this church in
September,  1824, and ordained in November, 1830.  For many years his name is
interwoven  with the history of the church as messenger to the association, as
clerk, and  as pastor.  His pastorate there was in 1840-1844. He always declined
the offer  of the pastorate unless they were unable to secure another.
     Besides Buck Creek he served the following churches as pastor:  Macedonia,
1855-1858; Station, 1840-1843, 1855-1859; New Hope, 1838-1847;  Mt. Carmel,
1851-1852, 1856-1859; Walton's Creek, 1842-1843.
     He also served the Association as missionary on numerous occasions.
Most of this work was done without charge to the body.
     Frederick Tanner had a humble opinion of his abilities, yet, Dr. J. S.
Coleman
regarded him as a man of superior natural endowments, and, under favorable
circumstances, an eloquent and powerful preacher.  He maintained a spotless
character and exerted an excellent influence over the people who knew him best.
He died at his home at a ripe old age on August 16, 1868.  His wife, Julia,
preceded him in death by 7 years.  They are both buried in the Buck Creek
Cemetery one mile west of Nuckols, in McLean County, Kentucky.
