Addington, Filmore
born 3/18/1861, died 10/22/1930, married Nancy Bentley
in 1880. They had 4 daughters and 3 sons, 2 died in
infancy, the others are living. 3 of the daughters were
members of the ORB Church. He joined the ORB church and
was ordained to preach in 1895. He preached his last
sermon at Bethel Church at a foot washing meeting, using
the text: "Thus in one house shall it be eaten." His
sons were named Calvin and Johnny. Calvin
lived in Cincinnati. The writer states, "Children, I
want you to respect, Katie, his wife, for she has done
all she could for him..." This suggests that he may have
married a second time although the writer does not make
that clear. The same suggestion, however, can be found
in her final statement which suggests that her natural
mother is deceased while he father's wife, Katie, is
still living: "So dear brethren and sisters, each of you
pray, down in
the grave where father and mother were laid."
Obituary was written by his daughter, Carrie Hall.
