I wonder if there's more information out there about him? I'm originally from Knoxville, and would find it historically interesting.

My wife's family, the Thompsons, we're from Knoxville, Dainty was their pastor at that time. Would be neat to learn more.

The name rings a bell.

Grandpa said Dainty was blind or almost blind so his wife would read him the bible and he would memorize.
