“Signs of the Times” Primitive Baptist Periodical, November 1969 Issue

MILLARD I. MCLEOD – Crenshaw Co., Ala., Covington Co., Ala.

	Millard I. McLeod, Primitive Baptist church elder, was born in Crenshaw 
Co., Ala., May 11, 1903, the son of the late Brother George A. McLeod and 
Sister Mary Susan Richburg McLeod.  At about the age of 17, he moved with his 
parents to Andalusia, Covington Co., Ala., and lived the remainder of his life 
in this section of the state.  He had been in declining health for several 
months and quietly passed away at his home in River Falls, Covington Co., on 
March 4, 1969.
	He, together with his wife, united with the Predestinarian Primitive 
Baptist Church at Gethsemane near Brantley, Ala., on Saturday before the third 
Sunday in March 1948 and was baptized the following morning by Elder J. N. 
Marrow.  A short time later, he began to speak in public and was soon liberated 
to the stand.  Sometime later, he moved his membership to Shiloh Church near 
Andalusia, where he was ordained to the full work of the ministry by a 
Presbytery composed of Elders W. F. Beauford, M. K. Duren, and E. F. Lassiter.  
In this capacity, he served faithfully the remainder of his life.
	At the time of his passing, he was serving four churches:  Zion Rock, 
Harmony, Naomi, and Shiloh.  He is greatly missed among the churches.  He was 
ever ready to give a reason of his hope and was an able defender of the Gospel 
of God our Saviour.
	He leaves to mourn his passing his devoted wife, Sister Nora Lee McLeod 
of River Falls; two sons, Glenn McLeod of Pace, Fla., and Gerald McLeod of San 
Antonio, Tex.; one daughter, Mrs. Calbert Briggs of Andalusia; five 
grandchildren; one brother, Clayton McLeod of Pace; two sisters, Misses Mary 
and Lula Bell McLeod of Andalusia; and many brethren and friends.
	His funeral was held at Foreman’s Funeral Home in Andalusia on March 7, 
1969, with Elder J. P. Morgan officiating and where a large concourse of 
brethren and friends paid their last respects to the beloved Elder.  His body 
was laid to rest in the Andalusia Memorial Cemetery beneath a large mound of 
flowers, to rest in peace until the morning of the Resurrection, when Jesus 
comes the second time without sin unto salvation, to gather his elect according 
to his promise.  We believe this precious brother will come forth from his 
sleeping dust and be caught up in the air to meet his blessed Saviour and will 
hear that welcome applause, Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter 
thou into the joys of thy Lord prepared for thee from the foundation of the 
world.
	“When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun,
	We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we first begun”
	
			Written by one that loved him – E. C, Weaver
