MRS. O. T. FORD, a daughter of Rev. N. P. Pierson and Mrs. Pierson, was 
born January 30, 1874.  She attended the common schools and procured a 
fair education.  At the age of seventeen she professed a hope in the 
Lord Jesus and united with the Icy Sink Baptist Church.  
        On the sixth day of August 1893, she was united in marriage to 
Rev. G. R. Ford.  After marrying, she moved her membership to the Little 
Hope Baptist Church to live with the Rev. Ford.  For the last twenty 
years she has been a leader in the Sunday School, having served as 
teacher most of the time of the advanced class and a while as 
superintendent. She is serving now as Bible class teacher.
        In 1895, the Little Hope Church made choice of her for their 
recording secretary, and for twenty-three years in succession she has 
kept a faithful record of all their business.
        The little boy standing at her side is her nephew, which we are 
raising.  We took him when very small. His name is William Taft Ford.  
He was born December 2, 1908.  He is now in the fifth grade and is very 
apt in his books.
