John Allen Milhous was a primitive Baptist minister, who preached for a number of years in the Wooley Springs vicinity. On 18 SEP 1855, Thomas Hobbs recorded:
"Went to a Hardshell Baptist meeting. Messrs. Milhous and Cruthcher preached. . . After two sermons we had communion and the washing of feet. It was the first time I ever saw the latter exercise. Cruther took off his coat, girded himself with apron, and washed Millh's (sic) feet from a large pewter basin; then his own were washed by M. and then the laity participated. The ladies were engaged in another part of the house."
