Rev. Henry Tucker Singleton



Henry Tucker Singleton, the son of Patrick Henry and Anna Mary
Singleton, was born in Bluffton, Georgia, August 28, 1885.
He joined the Bluffton Baptist Church in early childhood.
This was his home until 1909, when he moved to Edison,
where he has since lived.
 
In 1907 he graduated from the State Normal School, in Athens,
Georgia. He attended the University of Georgia and received
a BL Degree in 1913. Here he was president of the Senior Law Class,
president of the Demosthenian Literary Society,
and was Commencement speaker for his class in 1913.
Later he studied at the University of Georgia and awarded the
Degree of A B in Education.
 
He has been Worshipful Master of the Edison Masonic Lodge,
the Calhoun County Masonic Convention, and the Second District
Masonic Convention. He served as Mayor of the City of Edison for
three years, and has been County School Superintendent of
Calhoun County continuously for seventeen years.
 
Much of his time has been devoted to his church, which he loves
very much.  He has served as a member of the Associational
Sunday School Executive Committee; for years has been a member
of the Bethel Baptist Association Executive Committee;
was teacher in Sunday School; has been a deacon for about
ten years; and has been Sunday School Superintendent of the
Edison Baptist Church for over six years.  
He succeeded the much lamented Henry Turner upon his death, and
has continuously served since that time.
 
He is active in church and Sunday school work, and at all times
takes a firm stand on all moral questions, and by virtue of his
high ideals has become a trusted leader in his community.
