FROM THE BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF PRIMITIVE OR OLD SCHOOL BAPTIST MINISTERS BY DAVID MONTGOMERY AND MARK GREEN:
Elder Wesley Richard "Dickie" Daniels, Jr., was born in Luling, Texas June 18, 1933. He is the eldest of four children born to W. R. and Ruby (Berry) Daniels. He graduated from Luling High School in 1951. His secular education include Durham's Business School and Devry's Technical Institute. He joined Bethel Primitive Church and was baptized by Elder S. A. Nite in August 1951. He was married to Crystal Edna Johnson of Moulton, Texas the 4th of June 1954. To their union one daughter and three sons were born.
In 1956 Elder Daniels felt the call to preach and in 1957 began to speak publicly in the name of the Lord.
Elder Daniels was ordained by Bethel Primitive Baptist Church of McMahan, Texas in October 1959. He served Bethel Church for 28 years (Feb 1960 to Feb 1988.) In addition to the Bethel Primitive Baptist Church, Elder Daniels also pastored congregations in Florence, Quemado, Austin, Gonzales, and Nixon, Texas during this period. He served as moderator of the Southwest Texas Association from July 1969 to July 1975.
After resigning the care of Bethel Primitive Baptist Church in February 1988, Elder Daniels interest was turned to his home community of Luling, Texas. He continued to labor in the Lord’s vineyard as he felt he was led until his passing on March 13, 2013
Brother Ronnie Mallow writes:
In recent years, many of us had not seen Elder Daniels as we shared a different path, but there was a day when you counted it a great blessing to be in the congregation when he was given grace to preach God’s word in power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. He had a special gift and always said he “wanted to be preaching” when the Lord returned. He didn’t get that honor, but he did meet the Master Preacher in Heaven’s immortal glory and is in the presence of our Lord this very day. |
