A Sesquicentennial History of the Green River Missionary Baptist Church
1836 - 1986, Written and Compiled by Wendell Holmes Rone, Sr., For the One
Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of the Church, 1987. By
permission of author. Ohio County.

J. H. TOWE became the Twenty-Second Pastor of the Green River Church, being
elected by a unanimous vote on November 7, 1914, as Brother Shields had
declined serving another year.  He began his work with the Church on
January 9, 1915, and continued to serve through December, 1918.  However,
the Church held no meetings at all in the period November, 1918 through
March, 1919 due to the terrible influence "Flu" Epidemic near and after the
close of World War One (1914-1918).  Brother Towe's address was Bowling
Green, Kentucky, while he served the Church.  Most of his pastoral ministry
was spent among the Churches of the Gasper River and Warren Associatioins
in Butler and Warren Counties.  Our particulars concerning him are very
few.
