    Rev. Seldon Trimble and wife Mary (Morehead) Trimble were both natives of
Logan Co. Ky. Mrs. Trimble was educated in the schools at Kaysburg in South
Logan Co. Ky. She was a most excellent Christian woman, joining heartily in her
husband's work as preacher and missionary. Rev. Trimble was educated at
Murfreesboro College in Tennessee from which place he graduated with the degree
of A. M. He studied in the theological department of this same college, and
after his graduation and his ordination began to preach in the Baptist Churches
in Logan Co. ky. In 1856, after marrying, he and his wife went to Nigeria, under
the auspices of the Baptist Missionary Society. There were three men, but Mrs.
Trimble was the only lady in the party. They spent two years in missionary work
there, Mrs. Trimble was thrown from a horse, receiving injuries which disabled
her for life, and compelled her to return to Kentucky. Mr. Trimble preached in
the counties of Logan, Caldwell, Trigg and Lyon and devoted his remaining years
in securing aid for the support of Baptist missionaries in foreign fields. Mr.
Thornton Trimble is a grandson.
