W. J. Nabors was born July 20, 1848, in Wilson County, Mississippi. In 1856, with the family, he moved to Arkansas, where he enlisted in the Confederate army before he was 16--serving in the Third Arkansas Cavalry. His parents were members of the Methodist church, and all the preaching he heard was done by the Methodist and Baptists. While he could not see the consistency of the doctrine he heard, he with his sweetheart, told an "experienced" and became a member of a sectarian body. In 1876 heard the Gospel preached by Bro. Chouse, in Coryell County, Texas and became a close student of the Bible, and in 1882 was baptized by Bro. Harberson, at Desdemona, Texas. Since that time he has been a faithful member of the church of Christ--teaching the word of life to the people. He has been a hard working man earning his living by hard work and preaching the Gospel at his own charges. Though he is growing old, he is full of zeal and good works--preaching the sweet story of the cross to all he comes in contact with. His works will follow him. Such men bless the world. --Gospel Preachers Who Blazed the Trail.
