Baptist minister, teacher, farmer. Husband of (1) Sarah Catherine Womble (11 children), (2) Mollie Ellen Stinson (1 child), and (3) Sallie McKay Dowd (5 children). To say that he enjoyed life might be an understatement: he was known (despite his calling) to take a nip now and then, he had an eye for the ladies (as the number of wives and children might attest), and he rode his circuit on horseback with a pistol strapped on. He claimed the pistol was to protect him from highway robbers, but family legend has it that it was really to protect him from jealous husbands.
