DEACON STEPHEN RANDOLPH WALTRIP:  This outstanding Christian 
gentleman and servant of the Lord and His Churches was born on 
January 22, 1869, at Beech Grove, McLean County, Kentucky, and was 
the son of Pryor and Ann Brown Waltrip.  His opportunities for an 
education were good and we find him graduating from a school of 
Pharmacy in 1898.  For a number of years he served as a druggist at 
Beech Grove.  In the year 1908 he moved to Calhoun, McLean County, 
Kentucky, where he spent the remainder of his earthly life.
	He professed faith in the year 1885 and we are inclined to 
believe he was a member of another denomination until the year 1908 
when he united with the Calhoun Church and was baptized by Rev. A. F. 
Gordon.  He was soon ordained as a deacon of this Church and served 
acceptably for about twenty-five years.  He also served as the 
efficient Sunday School Superintendent of this Church for the same 
length of time.  The longest in the history of the Church.  In that 
time he faithfully represented his Church at the annual sessions of 
the Association and was a worthy supporter of every phase of our 
denominational activities.
	Mr. Waltrip married Miss Gertrude Landrum in the year 1892.  
Two girls blessed this union, Mrs. Lillian Whitaker and Mrs. Lula 
Kerrick.  After her death he married Miss Maude Richmond in 1922.  
His second wife and two daughters survived him.
	His death occurred on February 19, 1931, and he was laid to 
rest in the Calhoun Cemetery to await the resurrection morning.  When 
he departed this life the Calhoun Church and the Association lost a 
faithful and loyal member.
