How did Elwin Charles Roe get his picturesque nickname? Here is the answer as Roe tells it in his own words: "One day when I was three years old my Uncle Bathis (my daddy's only brother) asked me what my name was. I said to him, 'Preacher.' Don't know why I said that but it's stuck with me ever since."
