"Rev. Deacon Moved to Guthrie with Family"
Rev. and Mrs. E. P. Deacon and daughter, Miss Carolyn Deacon, left Wednesday morning for their new home at Guthrie, Kentucky, where the Rev. Mr. Deacon was assigned to that charge at the session of the Louisville conference of the M. E. Church, south, held last week at Lebanon Junction.
The Rev. Mr. Deacon, four years pastor of the local Methodist Church, South, has showed marked ability as a financier, for it was during his pastorate here that the new Methodist Church, South, was erected or rebuilt, after the former building was destroyed by fire, in the winter of 1932.
The Rev. Mr. Deacon's youngest son, Powell Deacon, is a well-known teacher of the county and their daughter, Miss Carolyn Deacon, has a number of friends here.
The Rev. and Mrs. Clyde Owen and their 19-months old son are expected to arrive this week to take up the work upon this field, which includes the churches of Hardinsburg, Harned and Glen Dean.
