JOHN H. BOYET D.D:  It is to be regretted that we have such meager 
information concerning this outstanding pastor and pulpit orator.  
He was born in Tipton County, Tennessee, on August 11, 1847.  After 
securing what education he could he entered the Southern Baptist 
Theological Seminary in 1877.  The dates of his conversion and 
baptism and the time and place of his being licensed to preach are 
unknown.  He was ordained by the Post Oak Grove Church in Lamar 
County, Texas, in June, 1873.  This leads us to see that he must have 
moved to Texas before his twenty-fifth year.  Immediately after his 
ordination he served the church at Honey Grove, Texas, from 1873 to 
1881, not including the years 1877 and 1878 when he attended the 
Seminary.  
     Our record of his pastorates is complete from that time until his 
resignation of the pastorate of the First Baptist Church in Owensboro, 
Kentucky, in 1893.  His pastorates were as follows: Paris, Texas, 
1882-1883; Sulphur Springs, Texas, 1884-1888; Honey Grove, Texas, 
1888, Owensboro Kentucky, 1890-1893.  In the year 1889 he served as a 
Missionary Evangelist in Texas.  We are inclined to believe from 
information received that he pastored the church at Vicksburg, 
Mississippi, from 1893 to about 1900.  He was also pastor of the 
church at Durant, Oklahoma, for a number of years.
     His death occurred sometime between the years 1915 and 1920.  
During his pastorate of the First Church in Owensboro he served the 
Association as Moderator in 1890 and 1891, and also preached the 
Annual Sermon in 1891.
