From the Biographical History of Primitive or Old School Baptist Ministers by David Montgomery and Mark Green:
Elder Huckaby was born Dec. 27, 1885 in Pontiac, Mississippi to Elder John T. and Sister Alphasyne "Alpha" Huckaby. He died August 20, 1952. He was married to Rhuea Mae Brown on March 18, 1908. To this union eight children were born. He was a large and dynamic person, yet gentle and fair in his judgments. He was very strong on discipline both with his family and in the church, which some times caused his to be unpopular, yet his opinion was often sought and respected. His word was binding in the church and in the community. He was ordained to the ministry in 1919 or 1920 by the Primitive Baptist Church at Powderly, Texas, near Paris, Lamer County. He was active in the community where he lived, serving on school boards, community committees, and in any way he could be of service to his fellowman. He studied political issues carefully, and was not afraid to support his convictions. He had a strong faith in God, preached loud and strong doctrine, sang with a powerful voice, filled with the spirit and determination of teaching! He traveled extensively, often on "Preaching Tours," sometimes alone and sometimes with another preacher. He was, and is still held in high esteem by those who knew him. He is still remembered over 40 years after his death.
