Daddy’s Testimony
“I have been born again. I am a new creature
in Christ Jesus.
All things have become new. The things I
used to love, I now
hate; the things I used to hate I now love.”
“I was at a meeting in Scott County,
Virginia, and received
the experience of Eternal Life. If I could
get one more
experience just like I received, through any kind
of weather, I would get down on my hands and knees
and crawl from here to Scott County. And this thought
just flashed through me: I would be
willing to be as though I had never been born, if by this means
it would cause some person to receive Eternal Life that
didn’t have a chance of receiving Eternal
Life. I know that
God does not require anything like that
though. This
experience occurred in 1929.”

Both Mother and Daddy were natives of
Letcher
County, Kentucky. In his biography,
Daddy recorded
his first impressions of
Mother. “A business moved into
town, and the
people that owned it moved just two houses
from where I worked; but the most
interesting thing to
me was the beautiful
girl I saw around the house. I believe
she
saw me too! We didn’t waste much time
getting
acquainted, and after over thirty
years, five grown
children and nine
grandchildren, we are still married
and
‘acquainted.’ “ At his death in 1979 they
had
been married over 48 years. The
grandchildren had
increased to 13, and the
great-grandchildren are
continuing to
increase. There are now two great-great
grandchildren. The started their family with
twins
that were born prematurely and didn’t
survive. They
ended with another set of
twins which were the little
“stars” of their
small town as Mother pushed the
double baby
buggy up the street.
They established a clothing store and shoe
repair business
in the small town of Jenkins
where they settled shortly after
they were
married. Mother came from a “shoe cobbler”
family and could “cobble” with best of them.
In addition
to being a busy mom, she helped
run the businesses as
well, but neither were
ever too busy to be active in
their church
and held many positions over the years.
