'''Lockard Mitchell Hamilton''', known as '''L. M. Hamilton''' (March 13,1918 – April 11,1991), was a [[Southern Baptist]] [[clergy]]man and an associate professor for twenty-seven years in the Department of Literature and Languages at Campbellsville University in Campbellsville in Taylor County in central [[Kentucky]].
A native of Salyersville in Magoffin County in eastern Kentucky, Hamilton was a son of Brack Hamilton and the former Dora Wisecup. He obtained his bachelor's degree and [[Master of Arts]] from Baptist-affiliated Georgetown College in Georgetown in Scott County, Kentucky. He furthered his education at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in [[Louisville]], Kentucky, and engaged in graduate studies at the [[University of Kentucky]], Morehead State University, and Western Kentucky University in [[Bowling Green, Kentucky|Bowling Green]]. Converted to [[Christianity]] as a boy, he was called to the ministry at the age of sixteen and licensed to preach in 1936. In 1938 he was ordained in his first pastorate by the Sherman Baptist Church in Dry Ridge in Grant County in northern Kentucky, a part of the Crittenden Association in Williamstown in Grant County. For forty-seven years, Hamilton was the pastor of numerous country and small town churches. When he came to the then Campbellsville College in 1959, he resigned his pastorate of the Gano Avenue Baptist Church in Georgetown. Citing health reason, he retired at the age of sixty-eight from the classroom and the pulpit, effective August 28, 1986.<ref name=obit>{{cite web|url=https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/104803853/lockard-mitchell-hamilton|title=Lockhard Mitchell Hamilton|publisher=Findagrave.com|accessdate=December 11, 2017}}</ref>
In 1971, the Business and Professional Women's Club of Campbellsville recognized Hamilton as the outstanding educator in Taylor County for that year. Campbellsville College students honored him for three successive years by presenting the award on which was written, “The Most Popular Professor."
