Seth Wilson ('36) graduated into glory to be with the Lord he loved and served so well on December 11, 2006 at the age of 92.  Seth was born in Maryville, Missouri. He came to Cincinnati Bible Seminary just 10 months after he was baptized and married Anna in 1937 after graduating in 1936. Until 1940 he took graduate classes and taught at CBS until being called to "rescue" a fledgling Christian vocational school called Ozark Christian College in Bentonville, Arkansas. He and Anna survived on farm produce during the war years and a few dollars he received from preaching on weekends. In 1944 they moved to Joplin, Missouri with the college. Seth taught college and seminary for a total of 51 years. He was dean at Ozark from 1940 - 1979, secretary to the trustees from 1942 - 1991, and dean emeritus, 1979 - 2006. He wrote Sunday School lessons and articles for the Christian Standard and The Lookout Magazine. Matt Proctor, President of Ozark, said, "We thank God for the life of this man who helped found the college, taught so many and, though short in stature, has cast a very long shadow for Christ." The library at Ozark is named in his honor. Seth is survived by Anna, their 10 children: Rebecca, Dora, Ben, Lois, Leta, Carl, Judy, Jonathan, Timothy and Joy along with 30 grandchildren and 43 great-grandchildren, one brother, Johnny ('34, '75) and a sister, Catherine Barker.
