Daniel O. Teasley was a prominent figure within the Church of God in the early days. He wrote over a dozen books, almost 140 hymns (which congregations still sing today), and close to 100 articles for the Gospel Trumpet. He served as general manager of the Gospel Trumpet Company and served on their board for several years as chairman. Teasley traveled extensively to preach and helped found the Missionary Board of the Church of God. In 1919, however, some indiscretions came to light, and he left the Church of God. By 1921, many folks were asking, “What happened to D. Otis Teasley?” The response was, “We don’t know. He just disappeared.”
