Albert Lewis Deveny (1886–1965)

Albert Lewis Deveny was born on his father's farm, twelve miles north of Waco, Texas. The family moved to West, Texas, when he was but a lad, where he was a student in the public schools till he completed the course in 1905. Since that date, he has spent a portion of three years in the Southwestern Christian College, Denton, Texas where he completed the Teacher's Course, and received a diploma from the college department also. He is now principal of the High School in his home town—West, Texas. His father and mother are among the most devoted of God's people, and from his childhood, he has known the Scriptures. While he does not at this date give all his time to preaching he is ever ready to teach sinners the way of life and instruct saints in their duty. He is one of our purest young men, and soon we expect to see him devoting all his time to preaching the word. The meetings he has engaged in have been productive of much good.
