Brother Earwood sold his farm at fifty years of age and entered Freed-Hardeman College after sending five children to Christian schools to better prepare himself for more effective work in the Lords kingdom. Has supported himself by insurance work while helping small rural congregations in Alabama and Tennessee. He served as an elder at Pine Street, Florence and congregations at Huntsville, Ala.
He is the third generation of five generations of Earwoods in restoration movement in Northern Alabama and Tennessee. A number of preachers, Christian school teachers, missionary, elders and deacons have come from his grandfather, John Oliver Earwood, who settled in Northern Alabama from Paulding County, Ga. in 1886. The Lords work always came first with Brother Earwood. --Doyle F. Earwood. Gospel Advocate, December 22, 1966, page 814.
