Mr. A. B. Brantley was born on May 28, 1932, in Lamar County. He was the Fourth oldest child born to the parentage of Ms. Iola Brantley. A. B. was educated in Lamar County. The school he attended was built directly in front of his home on McCollum Road. He confessed at an early age and joined the Sardis Missionary Baptist Church.
