Gospel preacher who spoke on the 6th Annual Bible Lectureship at Freed-Hardeman College in 1942.
His son was Flavil L. Colley. Gospel Advocate, April 12, 1951, 233.
Brother Colley came to Dyersburg in 1938 and worked four years with this congregation. He is held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. The constructive work which he did and the influence of his Christian character will continue to bear fruit which eternity can only reveal. I personally feel that the progress of the work at Dyersburg in spiritual and doctrinal soundness as well as numerical growth is, in a very large measure, due to the work of Brother Colley. As he rests from his labors, truly his works shall follow him. Gospel Advocate, May 17, 1951.
On The Passing of Brother A. O. Colley
It was with a deep sense of personal loss and sadness that I learned on Saturday, April 7, while at Conroe, of the passing of brother A. O. Colley. One by one the older men among us are going the way of all flesh, and all of us are getting older. Soon, those of us who are now more or less in the prime of life will stand where brother Colley stood, to answer the summons of death and to cross over Jordan. May we be as faithful to the principles of New Testament Christianity as brother Colley always was. May we all have an abiding faith in the all-sufficiency of the revealed will of God as brother Colley did. In a meeting near Waco, Texas, some years ago, I heard the truth from his lips, and was constrained to heed the Master's call. In a little mud tank, I was immersed during the meeting there. So, to me the life of brother Colley was a life fraught with meaning, and his passing causes me to pause in the midst of preaching the gospel, to honor him, and to thank God for his life. As far as I can now recall, I was the only one who obeyed the gospel during this effort, but how much has that one meeting meant to me. Today, all of the members of my immediate family are in the church, due to the influence of brother Colley, and that little congregation at Riesel, Texas, which brought him there to preach the unsearchable riches of Jesus Christ. How powerful is influence, and how immortal So, we bid brother Colley farewell here, with the fond hope and the earnest expectation of a meeting over in the land of joy and peace, beyond the wailing winds of confusion, and the surging seas of speculation, where there is no pain or sadness to mar the bliss of that summerland. May God bless his loved ones is our prayer for them. — Leonard Mullens, Gospel Guardian, May 3, 1951.
