Brother Logan S. Gillentine was born on August 1, 1875, in Tennessee. He died in his mother's home, near Hollis, Okla., on September 8, 1929. His father was Brother Richard Gillentine, a sacrificing gospel preacher who fought a good fight (he preached for little, often no pay at all), finished the course, and kept the faith. He had been dead ten years. His mother, whose noble life made Brother Gillentine's preaching possible, followed their first-born to his grave. Brother Logan Gillentine finished at Buritt College, then David Lipscomb College, did undergraduate work at the University of Tennessee, and fulfilled the M. A. degree requirements in Columbia University. He was superintendent of the Lafayette City Schools for several years, and was also head of the English Department of the State Normal at Murfreesboro, Tenn., for a number of years. At one time he was president of the State Teachers' Association of Tennessee. He was baptized into Christ at the age of fourteen by Brother Sutton. All through the years he has been an active worker in the church, having been a teacher of Bible classes during all his school work. His thorough knowledge of Greek, extensive travel, and love for truth and humanity made him a very efficient teacher. About twelve years ago he lost his health, which he never regained. He experience attainment as do few of earth's mortals. Yet he bore his illness and losses with enduring patience. His was a kindly soul, tried, precious. Apt to teach, able in prayer, sincere in worship, faithful—faithful to the end was he. One of God's noblemen has gone home—one who was tenderly and lovingly cared for by his mother, sisters, and brothers. His life is a blessed memory to all who knew him. Brother M. O. Daley and I conducted the funeral services at Hollis, Okla. The Gospel Advocate has been coming to the Gillentine home for fifty-five years. Brother Gillentine, his father, was taking it before his marriage fifty-seven years ago. -- John W. Pigg. - Gospel Advocate, October 24, 1929, page 1030.
