WILLARD BRADLEY WATTS:  This young minister of the Gospel was born in 
Breckenridge [sic] County, Kentucky, on October 23, 1907, and is the 
eldest of two sons born to Ernest Kelly and Rosie Tucker Watts.  He 
received his common school education In Breckenridge [sic] County and 
in the public schools of Owensboro, Kentucky.  He spent two years in 
a normal school in his native county and has completed two years of 
work in the Baptist Bible Institute, at New Orleans, Louisiana.
	His conversion took place in the year 1929 and he was baptized 
into the fellowship of the Seven Hills Baptist Church by Rev. E. I. 
Spivey.  He was ordained as a deacon of this Church in 1937 and 
served in that capacity until 1939 when he went off to school in New 
Orleans.  He was licensed to preach by this Church in 1939 and was 
ordained to the ministry on July 19, 1942, by Revs. R. E. Humphreys,  
L. M. Winstead, R. E. Gregory, W. H. Rone, G. C. Lovan, D. Arthur 
Dailey, F. W. Malone, W. G. Potts, and W. W. Harvey.  While attending 
school in New Orleans he served for a few months as pastor of the Mt. 
Pisgah Church.  He served the Hopewell Church from May, 1942, to

	Brother Watts was married to Miss Lucille M. Kasey, the

November 12, 1927.  They have one son, James.
	Before entering the ministry our brother labored for five years 
as a shipping clerk and for some time as a mechanic.  He is one of 
the most promising young preachers in the author's acquaintance and 
has made rapid progress in his calling within the last two years.  A 
large and useful ministry is before him and and [sic] success should 
crown his efforts.  He has gained a close attachment with the people 
whom he is serving as pastor.
