The moderator of the New Salem Association of the Old Regular Baptist, died this morning, Brother Ellis Holbrook. He was a fine brother and much loved. I cared very much for him and he would visit my church. Services will be at the New Salem Association Building tomorrow night, the next night and the funeral will be Wed. at 11:00 am.
A great loss for the Old Regular Baptist.
BBob,

I went to the wake service last evening there were at least 82 preachers there which states the love many shared with this great leader of the New Salem association. -

I'm sorry to hear this, I did not know him personally, but heard many good things about him.

It's good to see you on here, brother Danny. I've met you a few times before, but only in passing. I've been to several Old Friendship churches. As a matter of fact, I went to the Little Zion Church on the last odd weekend. The church must have changed it's meeting time, because I went on Saturday morning instead of Sunday morning. It was listed in the 2005 minutes as being on Saturday. So it must have changed since then. I'll try again in a month or two.

Who on here, if any, went to the funeral? I have a feeling there was a big crowd at the New Salem association building. I never knew him, but by the # of preachers there the first night at his wake, that speaks VOLUMES about the man he must have been. My dad really liked him and said that every time he went to his(Bro Eliss') home church, he was really good to him. But, if we are born of that LOVE, we will love one another.
