Gospel preacher and school teacher.
"Charles Smith Austin, my father, departed this life June 19, 1964, at eighty-two years of age. He was born near Scotts Hill, Tenn., November 24, 1881, the son of Benjamin Franklin Austin and Lucinda Scott Austin. Early in life he became a Christian and began to preach the gospel as a young man. Throughout his Christian life he has been an active soldier of the cross. Most of his preaching work was done in West and Middle Tennessee. His last regular work was in Owosso, Mich. He also taught in the public schools of Tennessee. His last teaching work was at Hay Long High School, Mt. Pleasant, Tenn. My father's main regret in his declining years was that he could no longer make as full a contribution of his time and talents to the work of the Lord. His children "rise up to call him blessed" and my mother (who survives) had been married to him for over sixty years. Many friends can testify of his interest and assistance in many ways. Truly the world is better because he lived." --- Larimore Austin, Gospel Advocate, July 16, 1964, page 463.
