P. B. Baber
By J. L. McPherson
Brother P. B. Baber was a native of Summers
County, West Virginia. He resided for some time at Indian Mills, W. Va., in that county. He evangelized the entire Allegheny District of Virginia.
He was a large man, tender hearted and full of the spirit of Christ. So deep with emotion was his passion for souls that he seldom preached a sermon without tears in his eyes.
Once when on an evangelistic tour, the Alleghany District (of Virginia) Cooperation (.as it was called instead of a convention, and I liked it better) was scheduled to be held at the Gravel Hill Church in Craig County. He had written the
secretary that he did not think that he could attend. But the desire to have fellowship with his brethren constrained him to attend. During the business part of the meeting he walked up the aisle with tears, and cheers went up from the audience like at a political rally. He was loved and respected by all who knew him. He had a son who became a preacher and died somewhere in the Midwest.
He was a good man. He was taken ill and died away from home and in the harness working for his Lord. His godly life and preaching was a blessing to many in the mountain regions of Virginia and West Virginia.
