Beaten and Abandoned Surviving the Preacher: A True Appalachian Story

Shirley Jean Chapman

In the 1950's there was little questioning a man of the cloth. Yet this preacher was just the opposite of a man of God, At home he dealt out his abuse with anger and cruelty along with his physical abuse causing one death in the family. His sexual appetite led to the death of two others. He ran from his responsibilities to his first wife and 5 children by moving out of state. He married one of his many lovers and hid all information of his first family from everyone. He became a preacher with no educational background to do so. His life was a lie from the beginning to the end. His actions affected his children for the rest of their lives. His death brought no tears. His second family attempted to take everything upon his death. To them the first family meant nothing and deserved nothing. They learned from their father how to be selfish and think of no one but themselves.
