He was graduated from Morgan High School in 1924 with first honors. While in high school he won first place in the county for declamation. At this time he was appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point by Congressman Frank Park, but did not accept the appointment. After working in a drug store at Arlington for a few months, he then moved to Shellman to be connected with the firm of Shellman Hardware Company. He was here under the influence of a godly uncle, Mr. H. C. Bower, and through the kind efforts of a true prophet and preacher, Rev. J. C. Grimes, that he felt his call to the ministry. He attended Mercer University from 1926 to 1929 and was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. While attending Mercer University he was elected President of the Mercer University Baptist Student Union. In 1928 he was elected President of the Georgia State Baptist Student Union. This year he became a member of the Blue Key Honorary Fraternity, President of the Ciceronian Literary Society, member of the Student Tribunal, member of the International Relations Club and of the Presidents Club. Since leaving Mercer University he was called as pastor of Vilulah Baptist Church and was ordained to the Ministry in September 1930 by the Shellman Baptist Church. He has served Vilulah, Herod, Mt. Vernon, and Mt. Hebron during his first year's ministry. At present he is serving the following churches: Vilulah, Leary, Herod and Milford. We predict for this splendid young minister a great future. following notes added by Debra Crosby, these persons may or may not be associated with the above individual 1920 Calhoun Co.
