B.D. (Brack) Porter, will-known Cumberland Presbyterian minister, will be held at Seven Springs Church, between Sulphur Well and Node, Sunday. The program will begin at 10:30 am and will continue throughout the day. Rev. Porter was born in 1838 near Center and preached throughout this section of the country. Many of the older couples were married by him. A monument will be dedicated to his memory at services Sunday. His body and that of his 2nd wife were taken from the Morris cem., near Center, by Butler Funeral Home, Monday, and interred in Seven Springs cem. Rev. Porter died at the age of 83 in 1920. He had been a minister since youth. It was his desire to have the body of his first wife, who was a Miss Wallace, to be buried with him also but there seem to be no close relatives living and it is not sure where she was buried, as she died about 80 years ago, living only a short time after their marriage. Her name will appear on the monume! nt to be dedicated. His second wife was Miss Laura Mudd who died 15 years ago, and her name will also appear on the monument. Rev. Porter died about 28 years ago. The Seven Springs Church has recently erected a new building and it will also be dedicated Sunday. Everyone is invited to attend and bring lunch. The program follows: Prelude; Song, "O Master Let Me Walk With Thee;" Invocation, by pastor, Rev. Luther Turner; Song, "When They Ring The Golden Bells," Special music, King C. Crenshaw; Introduction of speaker, Rev., A. B . Hiser; Memorial messages; Rev. J.W. .... Obituaries of Green Co. Ky.
