FROM “HISTORY OF THE PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH AT COLUMBIA” BY ELDER STEPHEN R. AQUINO:
ELDER BENJAMIN SEEKFORD
Born in Alma, Virginia and began teaching in Page County. Graduated from William and Mary College where he attended in 1917. In his secular vocation, he was a science teacher and school principle of Robert E. Lee High School. In 1956 he retired his teaching career after 30 years at Western High in Staunton, Virginia. His teaching ability accommodated his pulpit skills. He also was the pastor Washington Primitive Baptist Church in addition to Columbia. From the account of Elder James Compton who knew him, Elder Seekford was a kind and compassionate person, very humble man. He died at the age of 74 years. |
