The Forrest City Times' Art Souvenir-1905-Page 31: Elder J. A. McCord is the
present pastor of the Missionary Baptist Church in this city. He was born in
Christian County, Kentucky, October 1, 1875, where he was reared on a farm, and
thus became familiar with every phase of farm life. His education was obtained
in the district school. He professed faith in Jesus Christ at the age of 16, and
was baptized into the fellowship of West Mt. Zion Church, in his native county.
He was from his conversion a regular attendant at Sunday school and prayer-
meeting, taking an active part in both. In January 1895 his church liberated him
to preach the gospel. He was married December 28, 1903 to Miss Emma V. Johnson,
of Crofton, Kentucky.
