Beverly Francis Carradine (April 4, 1848 – April 22, 1931) was an American Methodist minister and a leading evangelist for the holiness movement.[1] He was a productive author, writing primarily on the subject of sanctification.[2] The patriarch of the Carradine family, he was the grandfather of actor John Carradine and great-grandfather of actors David, Keith, and Robert Carradine.
Beverly Carradine was born on April 4, 1848 on Altamont Plantation in Yazoo County, Mississippi.[3] Carradine was the sixth of nine children, and fourth son of Mary Caroline Hewitt Carradine (born June 5, 1819 in Washington, D.C.; died 1881 in Yazoo City, Mississippi) and Henry Francis Carradine (born June 7, 1808 in Yazoo City, Mississippi; died March 8, 1854),[4] a planter.[5] The Carradine family moved to Yazoo City in 1852.[citation needed]

In 1865, Carradine, aged 16, enlisted in Wood's Regiment in the Confederate Cavalry in Mississippi, and served until the end of the American Civil War.[6] In May 1865, he was mustered out with the 6th Cavalry Regiment Mississippi.[7]
Carradine graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1867. Later he studied pharmacy and worked as a clerk and bookkeeper in a store.[8]
Carradine "prayed through" on July 12, 1874, and then he told his wife, "Laura, I'm not going to go to Hell after all."[8] He was licensed to preach in October 1874 and became a pastor in Mississippi and New Orleans.[9] He was ordained a Methodist elder in 1878.[citation needed]

On June 1, 1889, Carradine received the "blessing of sanctification" in his study in the parsonage at 35 Polyminca Street, New Orleans. His third book, Sanctification, was published the next year.[8] Many of his subsequent books were centered on the concept of sanctification. He published at least 26 books.[10]

He also wrote about his opposition to the Louisiana lottery, making an analogy between it and slavery. The New York Times reported that his early opposition as a prominent New Orleans pastor helped to end the lottery in that state.[11][1
Although a prolific author, Carradine wrote little about himself and his family, not even in his autobiographical Pastoral Sketches.[8]

Carradine was married twice, and had at least nine children. On July 3, 1869,[14] Carradine married Laura Green Reid (born 1851 in Washington, D.C.; died in Vicksburg, Mississippi in 1882), in Yazoo, Mississippi. They had five children: Ernest Carradine (died 1880); William Reed Carradine (1872–1909), a correspondent for the Associated Press, and the father of actor John Carradine,[15] and the grandfather of actors David, Keith and Robert Carradine;[16] Maude Virginia Carradine (born 1874); Guy Carradine (1879–1885); and Lula (1880–1946). Laura died in 1882 at the age of 30.[citation needed]

On August 1, 1883, Carradine married Modesta A.M. Burke (born March 16, 1861 in New Orleans, Louisiana; died April 6, 1924 in Chicago, Illinois) in New Orleans, Louisiana.[8][17] Their four children were: Burke Carradine (1887–1932); Victoria Carradine (born 1889); Glendy Carradine (born 1890); and Josephine (born 1891).
