Gospel preacher listed inPreachers of Today, Vol. 1, 1951, 58 and Preachers Who Blazed the Trail, by C. R. Nichol..
Horace Wooten Busby was born in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, the son of John S. and Frances Wooten Busby. When he was about seven years of age his father moved to Ellis County in Texas and settled near Waxahachie, where he grew to manhood. Here he taught school, married Miss May Wise, and began his work as a preacher of the gospel. As he relates in his discourse his wife and he were baptized into Christ by Henry E. Warlick in Mangum, Oklahoma, after which time he spent four years in special preparation and study to preach the gospel. His first and only local work with a congregation was with the Glenwood (Vickery Boulevard) congregation in Fort Worth. After five years labor with this congregation, the invitations were so numerous for meetings that he decided to give up the local work and hold meetings altogether. For the past thirty years he has been an outstanding evangelist in the church of Christ in gospel meeting work. He has never held less than twenty-five meetings annually, and during 1941-3 he held twenty-eight. He has held meetings in many of our larger cities, and in most of the states. Approximately 17,000 souls have obeyed the gospel under his preaching, with many more reclaimed, and a number of congregations started. He has held over one hundred meetings in his home town, Fort Worth, and his converts are numbered among the hundreds here. Many of our leading preachers and educator educators are among the number who have been led into Christ In the evangelistic work of Bro. Busby.
