BRYANT YOUNG CUNDIFF  The subject of this sketch was born in 
Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, on January 27, 1822, and was the son of
Isaac and Fannie Cundiff, both natives of Prince William County, 
Virginia.  His parents came to Muhlenberg County about the year 1818 
and lived there until 1847 when they moved to Daviess County with 
their son, Thomas F. Cundiff.  Mrs. Cundiff died in 1853 and Mr. 
Cundiff in 1855.  They reared eight sons and three daughters.
     Our subject received a fair education and at the age of twenty-
one commenced teaching school.  He followed this profession for four 
years and then worked in the store of Mr. D. A. McCormick near Red 
Hill.  In March, 1854, he married Miss Priscilla McCormick.  To this 
union was born nine children.
     Brother Cundiff studied for the Methodist ministry but his 
studies of the Scriptures led him to become a Baptist.  He therefore 
united with the Green Briar Church in the year 1860 and was soon 
licensed to preach.  
     His ordination took place in the month of October, 1867.  Brother 
Cundiff held his membership with the Green Briar Church for twenty-six 
years after his ordination.  He then moved to the Red Hill Church, 
becoming a constituent member there.  He remained a member of the Red 
Hill Church until his death on October 1, 1909, and is buried in the 
cemetery across the road from the Church.  He lived on the adjoining 
farm to Bro. D. E. Yeiser from 1857 to his death.  These two brethren 
were inseparable companions and workers in the cause of Christ.
     The work of Brother Cundiff was in the main evangelistic.  Many 
of his protracted meetings were very successful, and his pastorates 
were all in this Association.  They were as follows: Mt. Carmel, Bells 
Run, Stanley, Mt. Liberty, Bethel, and Red Hill.  He was called as 
pastor at Red Hill soon after the constitution of the Church.  Even 
though his gifts were limited he did a good work in all his pastorates.
