                          W. H. PATTERSON

     Rev. W. H. Patterson came into the Bethel Association in 1876 and made his 
home at Georgetown, Quitman County.  He was a very learned preacher of the 
Gospel, a man of high christian character and one of the outstanding preachers 
of the state.

     He served various churches in the Bethel Association from 1876 until his 
death on March 26, 1901.  He was Moderator of the Bethel Association for two 
years, in 1889 when the Association met with the Vilulah Church in Randolph 
County and in 1900 when it met with the Lebanon Church.  He was loved and 
appreciated by the membership of the churches which he served, and was profound 
student of the Bible and an eloquent and forceful preacher.  His sermons were 
forceful and strong and  his pastoral work among his churches was outstanding.  
It is regretted that we do not have the history of his early life and 
attainments before he located in the Bethel Association.
