Rev. George Stephenson Munro, the first moderator of the Northern Kentucky Baptist Association, was a popular preacher.
"People loved to hear him," said Colburn Hooten, a former pastor of Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Independence who knew Rev. Munro for more than 30 years. "He was very plain-spoken, very intelligent and was able to communicate with every person present, both young and old."

tive to the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission.
Rev. Munro filled in for many pastors and was the speaker at many revivals, Rev. Hooten said.
