J.B. CAIN ARCHIVES OF MISSISSIPPI METHODISM

M 26 CAIN (J.B.) Papers, 1892-1984 Page 1

The J.B. Cain Archives of Mississippi Methodism was dedicated in October, 1982, in honor of the Rev. John Buford Cain (1892-1984). A graduate of Millsaps College, Rev. Cain received his M.A. in church history from Emory University. During more than sixty-five years in the ministry, he collected and preserved books, journals, manuscripts and other records housed in the Archives. He maintained this collection with the help of his wife, Amy, daughter, Loyce McKenzie, and friends, in the Millsaps Library. He was an active member of the former Mississippi Conference Historical Society, and upon retirement, served as its Director of Historical Research (1962-1983). He was author of many articles, pamphlets and books, including The Cradle of Methodism and Methodism In the Mississippi Conference, 1846-1870. A joint effort of the United Methodist Church in Mississippi and Millsaps College, the combined archives are dedicated to his memory.
