MEMOIRS
W. B. Bayless was born in Florence, Alabama March 1, 1852, and died July 22, 11 in Oklahoma. He was converted on a Sunday in 1875, joined the Church at once; was licensed to preach the same week, and preached his first sermon the next Sunday. Joined the North Alabama Conference in 1885, having traveled as a supply a number of years. He was transfered to the North Texas Conference in 1893 and served something like seventeen years within its bounds; but on account of failing health transferred to the Oklahoma Conference last fall.
Brother Bayless was an earnest, devout man, and substantial and useful preacher. He had a warm heart, and deep love for all humanity. He had a genuine Christian experience and often preached the Gospel with power and demonstration. He knew the doctrines of the Church, was well versed in general literature, made the Bible his one book, and preached to the hearts of the people. He was faithful in all his relations as a man and minister of the Gospel. He was loved and esteemed by his brethren. He leaves a wife and a large family of children to mourn their loss, and they know where to find him.
We pray God's blessings on the sorrowing ones.
