Bio
Rev. Alpheus D. Duck was a circuit riding Methodist preacher and was shared by many of the communities and towns in Baldwin County, Alabama. Brady, Stapleton, White House Fork, Crossroads, Rabun, Halls Fork, Latham, and Bromley are to name a few areas. He preached many times in Stapleton and after the Freewill Baptist Church there burned down, Rev. Duck helped get the Old Magnolia Church building at Brady moved to Stapleton for use as the First Methodist Church. The building was vancant, and needed to be used since all the homesteaders left Brady in the early 1920s. His father Timothy Duck built the church. After Victoria (Hall) Duck, his second wife, passed away, A. D. Duck came to White House Fork logging and preaching and got acquainted with a lot of the people in the area. This is where he met his third wife, Elvie Quinley. They soon married and she moved to Brady with him. A. D. Duck and Elvie moved to Crossroads in May 1923 (or 1920), where he was one of the first ministers of the Durant Chapel (Missionary) Baptist Church. George Washington Durant and family built the church in 1910. This church was of Methodist and Baptist congregations. On the second Sunday of each month, Rev. Duck would come and preach. On the fourth Sunday of each month a Baptist minister would preach. After Rev. Duck's death, many of the Methodist of the church became Baptist.
