Baptist biography

Baptist biographies gathered together from two blogs, Mount Carmel Blog and Seeking the Old Paths. In some cases these are only brief excerpts or references (and an obituary or two), but others contain details that I have found researching about their lives. Some will contain links to other information about the referenced individuals.
