DAVID ARTHUR DAILEY:  This universally beloved brother and minister of 
the Gospel was born at Bloomdale, Wood County, Ohio, on August 18, 
1879, and is the son of the late Samuel and Sarah Dailey.  His mother 
lived to the advanced age of ninety-seven and died in 1942.  Our 
brother did not have much opportunity for an advanced education in 
his boyhood days.  He later attended Georgetown College three years 
and finished the English Course at the Southern Baptist Theological 
Seminary in 1914.  His early life was spent on his father's farm and 
in later years he taught school for three years, two of these years 
at Hyat's and Briery in Pulaski County, and one year at Pleasant 
Point in Lincoln County.
	Our brother experienced the saving grace of the Lord at the age 
of thirteen and was baptized into the fellowship of the Eubank 
Baptist Church by Pastor Aquila Mobley, a plain old-fashioned country 
preacher.  He was later licensed to preach by this Church and was 
ordained to the ministry in September, 1908, by Pastor W. G. Tilford, 
and Elders Aquila Mobley, William Cross, W. R. Davidson, and a man by 
the name of Owens.
	Since his ordination our brother has served the following 
Churches:  Sadieville, Scott County, 1909-1911; Goshen, Anderson 
County, 1910-1914; Mt. Eden, Shelby County, 1912-1914; Upper John's 
Creek, Pike County, 1915-1922; McVeigh, Pike County, 1921-1922, all 
in Kentucky.  He has also served the following Churches in the Ohio 
County and Daviess-McLean Associations:  McHenry, Ohio County, 1922-
1923;  Dawson, Daviess County, 1925-1929;  Karn's Grove, Daviess 
County, 1925-1930; Green Brier, Daviess County, 1925-1926; Pleasant 
Grove, Daviess County, 1926-1936; New Panther Creek, Ohio County, 
1931-1936; Mt. Liberty, McLean County, 1930-1939;  Panther Creek, 
Daviess County, 1930-1939; Pleasant Ridge, Daviess County, 1925-1928.
	He served as clerk of the Enterprise Association in the years 
1915-1921; as Moderator of the Daviess-McLean Association in 1932 and 
1933; and preached the annual sermon before the Daviess-McLean 
Association in the year 1931.  From October, 1923, to November, 1924, 
he served as a Field Worker in the Ohio County Association.  He has 
held the same position with the Daviess-McLean Baptist Association 
since November, 1936.  Up to November, 1940, this work was for half-
time but since the last mentioned date has been on a full time basis.  
In the period 1915-1922 he was employed by the State Mission Board at 
McVeigh, Pike County, Kentucky.
	Bro. Dailey was married to Miss Amanda Renich of Woodstock, 
Illinois, on August 19, 1914.  She is the daughter of Fred and 
Catherine Renich.  They have two children.  Arthur Renich, who entered 
the ministry and is now a missionary of the Foreign Mission Board of 
the Southern Baptist Convention at Barranquilla, Colombia, S. A., and 
Mary Catherine, who is now Mrs. Clarence C. Brown.  Young Brother 
Dailey's wife is the former Miss Dorothy Elam of Lexington, Kentucky.
	Bro. Daily has spent the major portion of his ministry in 
country Churches and has performed a lasting work with them all.  He 
has majored on the organizational side of Church life and has been 
very successful from that standpoint.  He is of the opinion that if 
we could have more qualified and trained pastors in the country 
Churches to live with and lead the Churches it would be the means of 
a more rapid growth in Kingdom work than anything else that could 
occur.  One thing can be well said about Bro. Dailey's life and 
ministry, his people loved him.
