A HISTORY OF THE CURRENT RIVER BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
HIRAM C. KIRKPATRICK
Elder H. C. Kirkpatrick lived in Myrtle, Missouri, but much of his service was with Arkansas Churches and State Line Association. He was a better preacher than the average for his day and was in great demand. He was a missionary for State Line Association in 1878 and was elected moderator that year. He was elected moderator again in 1882 and 1887. In 1888 he was pastor of the Bethan [sic], Levanon, and New Salem Churches - the latter two being in Missouri. His report to State Line Association in 1888 was as follows: "Miles traveled, 1950, sermons preached 108, conversions witnessed 19, pastor of three churches, baptisms 2, received cash or its equivalent, $94.45." In 1887 he served Antioch Church (Old Reyno) as pastor We regret that we could not learn more facts about this faithful preacher.
