Western Recorder, March 7, 1963
Mrs. Nellie Hiestand Hord, 94, slipped away quietly at her home here on 
December 17, 1962.  This servant of the Lord was the oldest member in years of 
the Campbellsville Baptist Church, and one of the four who membership covers a 
period of 52 years.  In 1911 Campbellsville Church began a mission in the 
southern section of the city.  No one made a greater contribution to it than 
did Mrs. Hord.  From this mission work grew the South Campbellsville Baptist 
Church which now has a membership of more than 800.  She followed the plan of 
teaching the Bible book by book, which she did until she was 90 years of age, 
though she continued in the gatherings for worship until a few weeks before 
her death.  Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, J. Chester Badgett, 
assisted by two ex-living pastors, James L. Robinson and Harvey F. Morrison, 
whose combined pastorates extend over the past 33 years.  They were one in 
their testimony to Mrs. Hord's loyalty and devotion to the work of t!
 he Lord, and expressed their thanksgiving to God for her helpfulness in their 
ministry.  Mrs. Hord is survived by five daughters - Mrs. Aubrey Peterson, 
Mrs. R. S. Bailey, Mrs. David Mitchell and Mrs. Muriel Lippincott, all of 
Campbellsville, and Mrs. Charles B. Steger, Sharon, Pa.; and by one son, 
Admiral Paul Hord, U.S.N., Retired, Borrego Springs, Calif.
