“Signs of the Times” Primitive Baptist Periodical March 1969 Issue

[Elder] R. P. HENDRIX – Monroe Co. and Mobile Co., Ala.

	Elder R. P. Hendrix was born March 11, 1889, and departed this life 
Feb. 22, 1968.  He leaves to mourn their loss a loving and faithful wife, five 
daughters, five sons, several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-
great-grandchildren.
	He united with the Primitive Baptist Church June 4, 1921, at Frisco 
City, Ala., and was liberated to preach Sept. 1, 1923.  He was ordained to the 
ministry July 5, 1924, the presbytery [officiating clergy] being Elders B. 
Sawyer and E. L. Harris. 
	Elder Hendrix was the pastor of Shiloh Church from 1938 until God 
called him home, and he was pastor also of Mt. Zion Church 15 miles west of 
Mobile, Ala.
	He had many trials and persecutions during his ministry but continued 
to wear the breastplate of faith, love, etc.  He stood firm in the doctrine of 
the Old School Baptists to the end.  He was faithful to his churches, always 
contending for peace and love among the children of God.  He had many travels 
among the churches, always willing and submissive to God’s calling.
	We mourn not for him as they that have no hope, for he was strong in 
faith and always contended for the old landmarks that the forefathers stood for 
in the Old School Primitive Baptist faith and order.  To know him was to love 
him.  We bow in humble submission to our Heavenly Father who does all things 
well.
	His funeral was conducted by Elders R. M. Griffin and Max Walker.  His 
spirit has gone to God Who gave it, and his body is awaiting the glorious 
resurrection.
	Written by his oldest granddaughter, who loved him very dearly and 
misses his sweet smiles and kind words so much. – Valerie Mason
