JAMES C. LOGAN

Pioneered by Researcher Jack Cross First Sullivan CO, TNGenWeb County Coordinator

Rev. James C. Logan was born at Tullahoma, Tennessee, April 10, 1859, and lacked but a few days of his eighty-second birthday at the time of his death, March 16, 1941. The son of a hardy pioneer ancestry, he inherited a strong body and a vigorous mind. In preparation for the ministry he studied at Emory and Henry College and at Vanderbilt University.

He united with the church at an early age and was licensed to preach some years before he entered the traveling ministry. He was a local deacon when admitted on trial into the Holston Conference in 1904. Two years later he was admitted into full connection; and in 1909 ordained elder. He had been preaching for several years, in North Carolina, before entering Holston Conference.

He married Miss Bessie Wells of Hot Springs, N. C., July 19, 1893. Mrs. Logan survives him, with four sons and a daughter: Frank, Neal, C. B., O. W., and Miss Lona.

He served Morristown Ct., Bull's Gap, Fall Branch, Strawberry Plains, White Pine, Abingdon Ct., Wallace and South Bristol; the latter being his last charge. He retired in 1939 at eighty years of age, having served his last charges with the hearty zest which was characteristic of his work. He knew the hardships of the work of a circuit rider, most of whose work was done before the motor car took the place of the faithful horse; and he was always ready to go with a laugh and a will to the call of his work.

The end came after an illness of a week. His sturdy frame had not known illness; but he was ready to go when the summons came.

Funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church, Bristol, conducted by Rev. T. E. Milburn, Rev. Paul P. Martin and other pastors of the Abingdon District; after which the body was laid to rest in Glenwood Cemetery.
