Yes there were traveling prechers, They use to travel in the summer to preform marrages, funerals and preach the word of God. In many of the area's of the west there was too few people to support a full time preacher. And in others the Minister Welcomed the new voice in the pulpit. I remember hearing them in the 30's in Texas. Joepete On Wed, 17 Mar 2004 14:50:44 EST CannadyGal1@aol.com writes: > > I've heard of "traveling judges" but maybe they had a > traveling preacher.
