Milam is still active and is often
seen downtown. His voice is still
strong but lacks the volume of his
younger days. On the eve of his
80th birthday, he preached his own
birthday sermon to a full house at
the First Baptist church here.
Shortly before he had gone to
Abbeville, Miss., to dedicate a new
county he has filled the pulpits of
numerous rural churches and has
preached numberless sermons from
the pulpit of the First Baptist

this city.
Dr. Milam is sometimes called
“the marrying parson” due to the
fact that he has read so many
marriage ceremonies since his res-
