Wiley Sammons

FROM THE BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF PRIMITIVE OR OLD SCHOOL BAPTIST MINISTERS BY DAVID MONTGOMERY AND MARK GREEN:

ELDER WILEY SAMMONS
SUBMITTED BY ROSEMARY CHAPMAN: Wiley William Sammons was born August 4, 1907, to the family of Julius L. and Birdie N. Sammons near Whiteville, Tennessee. He had a very deep feeling and love for the church early in life, and always enjoyed the visits of the many ministers who came to their home. At age 21 he joined Mt. Tabor Church in 1928. He was married June 9, 1940, to Elizabeth Piper of Collierville, TN. In 1942 Wiley and Elizabeth moved to Collierville into the home where they resided 53 of the 55 years they were blessed to be married. It was while he was in the hospital in 1944 stricken with pneumonia ten days after an operation that he was made to know God had called him to preach. He was ordained to the full work of the ministry by Mt. Tabor Church in 1947. His wife was the second person he baptized and was a real minister's wife.

Elder Sammons served churches at Mt. Tabor, Whiteville, TN; Antioch, Toone, TN; Chewalia, Potts Camp, MS; Mt. Moriah, Friendship, TN; Mt. Pisgah, Somerville, TN; Raleigh, Memphis, TN; and Collierville, Collierville, TN. He provided leadership to build new buildings for each of these churches. Upon faith, the Collierville Church building was built prior to the constitution of the church in November 1949, of which there had never been a Primitive Baptist Church in Collierville. He served as moderator of the Mississippi River Association for over 40 years.

Being a staunch Primitive Baptist, Elder Sammons felt a deep desire to preserve the church in form and doctrine and practice. He authored IDENTITY OF THE TRUE BAPTIST CHURCH, Vol. I and II. His service to the Lord was always exemplified in such a loving way to well represent the church with dignity, earnest fervor for spiritual matters, and respectfulness. For over 50 years he obediently answered his calling and his spirit went home to the Lord on November 13, 1995.
