Called to Rest!
…
Distinguished Baptist Minister and Educator
Dies at Country Home
…
Born in Franklin County.
Eminent in the Church.
President of Female Seminary in Lexington
The Rev. Dr. John C. Freeman aged seventy-three years, died last night at 9:30 o'clock of the infirmities of old age, at his residence a mile from the city on the Versailles Pike. He had been in poor health for several years, and his death was not a surprise to his wife and six children, who were gathered about him during his last moments. The arrangements for the funeral will be announced today.
Dr. Freeman was born in Franklin County in 1832. He was one of the ablest and most widely known of the Baptist educators and ministers. He served his church in that dual capacity for forty-five years. He was identified with Lexington. For the greater portion of that time. His sons have become eminent in their professions and two of them are located in this city.
The surviving children are:
Prof. C. C. Freeman, formerly of Kentucky University, but now of Georgetown College
Mr. C. Y. Freeman, of the Central Bank
Mrs. W. E. Freeman, of Chicago
Dr. John T. Freeman, of Louisville
Mrs. W. O. Hinton, of Paris
Miss Eva Freeman, who lives with her parents.
Dr. Freeman graduated from Georgetown College in 1859, and though not a classmate, was a fellow student with the Rev. Dr. W. H. Felix, of Fayette County. The following year he became a teacher at the Baptist Female Seminary at Eminence, and pastor of the Fox Run Baptist church in Henry County. In a few years he was chosen president of the Baptist Female Seminary of this city, which was located on South Broadway, between High and Maxwell streets, in the house now used as the South Broadway Inn. He continued to tach for a number of years and then retired to his farm, which he bought in the country. He continued his ministerial work as pastor of the Baptist church at South Elkhorn at Fort Springs and Bryant's Station Baptist church, both of this county.
He was succeeded as president of the female seminary by the Rev. D. Robert Ryland, whose widow died recently. Shortly after leaving school Miss Nannie King, of Henry County, married Dr. Freeman.
