S. A. RIBBLE
S. A. Ribble, familiarly known by his friends as Sam, was born near Petty, Texas. His parents were poor, religious, industrious, farmer folk of German descent. In the summer of 1887 Sam "got religion," and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, of which his mother was a member at that time. The family was then living in Brown County. In November of the same year his father secured the services of Jim Zachary for a meeting with a few scattered disciples in that section. Among the number baptized was Sam. Sam's education was secured in the public schools, save for the one year he attended the Baptist College at Brownwood, Texas. He was forced to leave school on account of his eyes. At the age of seventeen he began preaching, and being unable to prosecute his studies in the school room he preached more and studied what he could at home. From that time, 1895, he taught and preached. He met some of the strongest men of the sectarian churches in debate. -- the Preceptor, 1975.
