OVC Mourns Passing of
Friend and Founder, Inman
Clifton Inman, 74, one of the founding fathers of Ohio Valley College,
died of a massive stroke Oct. 6 in Fairmont, W. Va.
At the time of his death, he was a minister for the Norway Church of Christ
in Fairmont where he had served since his retirement from OVC in 1986 as associate
professor in Bible.
Kevin Ramsey, chairman of the board of trustees, gave this tribute:
"Clifton Inman has a rightful claim to the title Mr. OVC. He was there at the
beginning of the college, and he has been there as long as he was granted the time to
share his life of service with us. The board of trustees express their deep appreciation
for Cliff's devotion and dedication to Ohio Valley College. He will truly be missed by all
of us."
"Ohio Valley College, Christian education, and the church have lost a
friend," said President E. Keith Stotts. "Clifton Inman was a Moses in the Ohio
Valley. People loved and respected him as a leader and forerunner. In relation to the
college, he was a Joshua. He helped clear the land and lead the constituency to support
Christian education. Few Bible instructors have gained more respect from the Ohio Valley
Bible majors than Brother Inman. The Inman Bible Forum will always herald his scholarship,
his dedication to the college, and his sacrifice for young people."
Inman's service to the college spanned three decades beginning in 1956 when
he was a member of the original steering committee which laid the groundwork for the
college. He was a charter member of the board of trustees, which was formed in 1957. He
also had the distinction of being the first salaried employee of the college as a
fund-raiser beginning in 1957. The $318,000 he raised was used to purchase the site of the
present campus and to begin construction of the buildings.
Inman directed the first OVC lectureship in 1959 and continued as director
for seven years. He also originated the Elder/Preacher Appreciation Dinner.
In 1970 he began to teach Bible on a part-time basis and joined the full-time
faculty in 1973.
The Inman Bible Forum was established in his honor in 1983. This scholarly
lecture series is held the first Thursday and Friday each November in recognition of his
contributions to the church and the college.
During the appreciation dinner held at his retirement in 1986, Inman gave
this challenge: "Let every administrator at Ohio Valley College, every board member,
every faculty member, every staff member be a strong Christian who puts service to Christ
ahead of everything else and who imbues the students who come here with the same
resolve."
The future of the college, he said, "depends upon each of us and our
willingness to serve both God and man."
Service to the church has been the primary focus in Inman's life. He was on
the program committee that planned the first Ohio Valley Lectureship in 1944. He was a
minister for congregations in Texas, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and West Virginia and spoke
at numerous lectureship programs.
Inman also wrote several books including Exegesis of Select New Testament
Passages on the New Birth and Study Guide to Old Testament Literature. He
also wrote numerous articles for religious periodicals and edited two publications, For
Your Soul and Bible Herald. He was owner of the Bible Herald Bookstore from
1960-1973.
Originally from Denton, Texas, Inman held the B.A. (English) and the M.A.
(Bible) from Abilene Christian College.
He is survived by his wife, Pauline Watts Inman; six children, all of whom
attended OVC; Sonya Hescht, Bremen, Ohio; Roger, Williamstown, W. VA.; Michael and
Stanley, Parkersburg; Paul, Mineral Wells, W. Va.; and Cynthia DiLucia, Conegliano, Italy;
one brother, George Inman, Denton, Texas; two sisters, Winnie Ann Arant, Greenville,
Texas, and Ethel Frady of Eurica Springs, Ark.; 17 grandchildren; and two
great-grandchildren.
Dr. Charles Aebi, professor in Bible at OVC, conducted the funeral service
Oct. 9 at the Camden Avenue Church of Christ. |
