FROM THE BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF PRIMITIVE OR OLD SCHOOL BAPTIST MINISTERS BY DAVID MONTGOMERY AND MARK GREEN:



THE FOLLOWING WAS WRITTEN BY GENE THOMAS:
Elder Davis Milton Lillard passed away during the early morning hours of December 23, 1987 at the age of 62. He had united with Cool Springs Church as a young boy. After graduation from high school he served in the Navv in

World War II.


After returning home from the service he earned Bachelor of Scienceand Master of Arts degrees from Peabody He began teaching in 1949, and during his work as an educator served as teacher, principal and superintendent. In1980, he was elected to the Williamson County Board of Education.

Elder Lillard was one of the most successful Primitive Baptist pastors that this writer has ever known. For over thirty years he pastored Big Harpeth Church in Franklin, Tenn., and Cool Springs Church in Pevtonsville. Both of these churches experienced much growth under Brother Lillard's care.

Elder Lillard dearly loved the fellowship of the Primitive Baptists throughout our nation. He drove many miles attending various associations and union rneetings and then returned home (without much rest) to meet his regular Sunday appointments. He was always interested in trying to establish new congregations and was holding regular appointments during the weekdays at Columbia, Lewisburg and Murfreesboro. He was a diligent worker in any just cause for peace among troubled and divided churches.

In addition to these labors, Elder Lillard had a radio program each Sunday morning on WAKM in Franklin.

Elder Lillard was born to Davis Marion and Ethel Estelle Graves Lillard on November 25, 1925. He united with the church in 1939, and was ordained on December 29, 1946. He married Miss Geneva Baker on September 14, 1947. They were blessed with a son, Paul Claiborne, and a daughter, Ruth Ethel. He served Big Harpeth, Cool Spring, McKenzie, Pleasant Hill, Mt. Zion, Wilson Creek and Richland Churches.
