Sandy, there's a C. P. Almon! On page 590, North Alabama Conference, 1911-1920: Among the delegates to this Conference were men whose names bring back cherished memories of consecration, loyalty and service--W.M. Acton, C.P. Almon, T.C. Banks, R.L. Blanton, Thomas Bradford, W.W. Brandon, Daniel Collier, E.J. Garrison, F.M. Jackson, M.N. Manning, W.K. McAdory, J.H. Peach, D.F. Propst, N.M. Rowe, W.T. Sanders, L.S. Schuessler, J.B. Wadsworth, J.H. Walston, J.H. Wilson, T.W. Youngblood, B.C. Jones and J.C. Kumpe. And, on page 674, The North Alabama Conference, 1921-1930: The Conference was entitled to nine clerical delegates and nine lay delegates. The laymen seemed to know exactly what they wanted in the matter of unification, and who they wanted in the matter of delegates. They elected all nine of their delegates on the first ballot, as follows: N.L. Miller, E.A. Hammett, C.E. Fuller, N.M. Rowe, C.P. Almon, R.F. Lovelady, R.O. Noojin, C.W. Sarver, and F.B. Yeilding. The total lay vote cast was 94. One of these elected received 92 votes, four received 93 votes, and four received 94 votes. It is evident that the four who received 94 votes voted for themselves, but it would not be fair to ascribe self-seeking to them. They were taking no risk in electing men to represent them in the General Conference. They were voting on a great issue more than for men.
