Even though his dc says he had a wife named Helen when he died I don't find a marriage license for her and he was listed as widowed on the 1920 census. I noticed she's not mentioned in obit so dc may be in error.

The following is part of an interview Ralph Helm did for the Russell County Library. He said this about his grandfather.

"James K. Polk Aaron was a farmer but he decided he was a Christian man and he decided he was called to preach, and he told my grandmother Adaline he was called to preach. She didn't think he should. She told him he had to make a living for his family. He was out plowing one day and sit down to rest the old mare and he saw the letters PGP in the clouds and that was it. He said it meant "Polk Go Preach". He ran to the house and told grandma it's a sure thing now and told her what he saw in the sky. She didn t agree so he put it off for a little while, but he'd still go to places like Moore School House and Esto and preach a funeral. He finally got a call to go the preaching circuit down in Cumberland County. By that time his old man had died and he had nothing to ride, but he wasn't going to be outdone and said he'd take that circuit if he had to walk. I was told he had corn and sold the corn, shucks and all to buy another horse and then didn't have no corn to feed the horse. As far as I know that's the only circuit he ever rode. He did preach as long as he was able.

When asked if he could remember him he said:

I can barely remember him and he was too old to preach then. But I don't know how many years after that when I went to a church he had served in, people would tell me they remembered him. That's about all I remember about him except he had long white whiskers.
