HORACE S. WIGGINGTON:  H. S. Wiggington was born in Ohio County, 
Kentucky, on November 26, 1878, and is the son of F. J. and 
Marguerite Wiggington.  He had the privilege of attending grade 
school and high school and two years of college.  For a number of 
years he was a farmer and followed that occupation.  He was converted 
under the ministry of Dr. J. S. Coleman at Pleasant Ridge Daviess 
County, Kentucky, and was baptized into the fellowship of the Mt. 
Carmel Church Ohio County, in December, 1892.
	In the year 1910, at the age of thirty-two, he was licensed to 
preach by the Mt. Carmel Church and was ordained by the Island Church 
in 1912, by a presbytery composed of Revs. John A. Bennett, O. M. 
Shultz, C. T. Brookshire, Norris Lashbrook, B. F. Jenkins, and W. W. 
Williams.  He immediately took charge of the Brushy Fork Church and 
remained two years.  He has also served the Basin, Curdsville, Sugar 
Grove, Karn's Grove, Hopewell, and Rumsey Churches in this 
Association.  For four years he served as the pastor of the 
Buttonsberry Mission of the Island Church.  His other pastorates have 
been in Muhlenberg, Ohio, and Butler Counties.  After the year 1925 
he preached the annual sermon before the Gasper River Association on 
two different occasions and also served as the member of the State 
Board of Missions from that Association.  A new house of worship was 
completed at Hopewell Church and also at the Buttonsberry Mission 
while he served at these two places.  Revs. R. P. Brown, Dave Bunch, 
and Hubert White began their ministry under his preaching.  Since 
about the year 1937 he has been inactive in the ministry due to a 
nervous breakdown from which he has never fully recovered.
	Brother Wiggington was married to Miss Hallie M. Wood on 
November 24, 1897.  She is the daughter of George and Mary Wood.  
They have the following children: Ethel, Albert, Addie, Frank, and 
Sarah.  Frank Wiggington is a minister in Detroit, Michigan.
	Our brother states that he has had more than 1,000 conversions 
and baptisms during his ministry and that he is also the author of a 
tract entitled "Twenty-Five Reasons Why The Believer Can Never Lose 
His Salvation."  The tract exposes the evils of apostasy.
