Biographical Note
Ewart Arthur Autry (1900-1981) was born in Hickory Flat, Miss., the son of a Baptist
minister. After graduating from Mississippi Heights Academy, he attended the University
of Mississippi in 1918, Mississippi College in 1919, and Blue Mountain College in
1920. Autry was a school teacher and a superintendent in the Hickory Flat school system
from 1918-1928, and following in the tradition of his father became a Baptist minister
in 1921. He was a pastor for 53 years in both urban and rural settings: He ministered
to Central Avenue Baptist Church in Memphis from 1928-1941, Pine Grove Baptist Church
in Benton County from 1941-1974, and Bay Springs Church in Lafayette County from 1944
to 1967. In 1954, Autry received an award presented by Emory University and The Progressive
Farmer recognizing him as Mississippi’s Rural Minister of the Year. He was a member
of the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board and Moderator of the Benton County Baptist
