The Rev Charles Reuben Holmes, the oldest and perhaps the most venerated pastor in Stockton, passed away last week at the age of 79. He had been pastor of the Second Baptist Church for the past 25 years. The Rev. Holmes was born in Lafayette County, Mo., June 10 1880 to the late Franklin and Sarah Holmes. He attended the public schools of Lafayette County and Douglas School of Lexington, Mo.
In his youth he joined the Second Baptist Church of Lexington and served as Sunday School superintendent, as a member of the board of deacons and as president of the Baptist Young Peoples Union. He married Miss Lucinda Bennett July 25 1900, in Lexington.
In 1913 the Rev. and Mrs. Holmes moved to Fresno where he was employed by the Southern Railway Company. While in this job he accepted the call to preach in 1919. The Rev. Holmes completed a correspondence course in the field of ministerial work. While in Fresno he served as supply pastor and in various areas in and around Fresno, whenever there was a need. Later he moved to Merced where he organized and built a church. He also organized and built a church in Merced Falls. Following that work he answered a call as pastor in Pacific Grove. In one year he built and completed a social hall and addition to that church.
Serving so successfully in each of his charges, he wascalled to the Second Baptist Church of Stockton in 1934 when the church membership numbered 22. He at once began work for the church was in a rundown condition and a debt was on the building. His first move was to settle the debt and then to remodel the church. Shortly after he accomplished these tasks, a need for a larger building arose because of the growing community. It was then he established a building fund for a new church which is presently under construction.
During World War II he contributed to the war effort by working at Port of Stockton and as religious counselor for some of the servicemen at Stockton Field.
The Rev. Latimer noted that Rev. Holmes' funeral was one of the largest in Stockton with an attendance of about 700 people.
