DALE BRAUNS became the Thirty-Sixth Pastor of the Green River Church by its
vote on November 22, 1961.  Brethren S. G. Gilstrap, W. I. Davis and J.
Homer Matthews were appointed as the Pulpit Committee and were instructed
to bring four "prospects" before the Church and by a process of elimination
the selection of a Pastor would be made by the Church.  Therefore, on the
date given the Church voted on four prospects, who received the following
number of votes:  Brother Blackburn (2), Brother Basham (2), Brother
Jennings (10) and Brother Brauns (46).  In the "run-off" between Brother
Jennings and Brauns, the first received 5 votes and the latter received 55
votes.  By this means he became the new Pastor.  The call was for the
remainder of the unexpired term of Brother Crowe.  In August, 1962, Brother
Brauns was called for another year.  He continued in the pastorate until
April 28th, 1963; when he asked to be relieved of the duties immediately,
and the Church met his request.  He had served for nineteen months.  We
have no particulars concerning his life.
