Husband of Martha A. J. Curtis Almand
-------------------------------------------------------
Elder William David Almand claimed the hope in the year 1838 joined the "Missionaries" in 1845, stayed with them until 1851, soon afterward joined the Primitive Baptists, and in a year or two began exercising in public, and was soon called to take the care of four churches. He served them faithfully as one that careth for the sheep. One of the churches he served over 40 years and baptized a great many. He was very industrious and made all his supplies on his farm, working with his own hands, not to be an encumbrance on his brethren. He was an excellent provider for his family. He raised eight children, six girls, and two boys. One daughter died on 11 August 11, 1853. He gave each one of them a home. He was strictly honest and very prompt in his promises. His word was as good as the money everywhere
he was known. He knew no man after the flesh and made many enemies because he contended so earnestly for the doctrine of election and predestination.
