Photos Taken February 22, 2012 Web editor note: In February, 2012, it was my privilege to visit the grave of W.W. Stirman. I was invited to take part in the annual Affirming The Faith Lectureship in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Getting into the area early, I was afforded the opportunity to put about 2000 miles on a rental car in order to locate graves of gospel preachers and church leaders of yesteryear in a wide area. My third day I was able to visit the grave of W.W. Stirman |
