Sowers, daughter of Col. James Sowers of Clark County, Va., a lady of fine intellect and forceful character. His education was in harmony with his environment, was proficient in mathematics and English, and well advanced in Latin and Greek. He moved to Page County, Va., in 1830 and engaged in the mercantile business, was soon elected Pade County Clerk, and served as such for 17 years, giving it up to devote his entire time to the ministry. His life of piety began when quite young and it was on the ballroom floor that the Lord sent the arrow of conviction to his soul. In Page County, he heard, for the first time an Old School Baptist sermon by Elder A. C. Booton, and on seeing the ordinance of baptism by immersion administered, was so much impressed with the power of its truth and example of loyalty that he, with his wife, united with Mt. Carmel Church in Luray and were baptized by the pastor, Elder A. C. Booton. At the first regular meeting afterward, the pastor being absent, he was called upon to conduct the service which he did and his gift being so manifested that he was soon licensed, and in 1835, he was ordained to the full work of the ministry. Elder Lauck was one of the ablest ministers of the New Testament in his day. His manner was impressive, his language chaste, flowery, and devotional. In his early ministry, he served Thum Run, Gourdine Chestnut Fork, Roberson River, and Battle Run. Later on, he gave up the most distant ones and his last clays served Hawk's Bill and Big Spring, but retained Roberson River and Battle Run I for forty years, faithfully serving these churches and several times each month, crossing, by private, conveyance, the Blue Ridge mountains in all kinds of weather to fill his appointments. He was a kind husband and wise father and brought up his children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. He was the father of three children: Mrs. Emily Booton, Mrs. Lucy G. Brumback, T.H. Lauck.
