[108] Professor Pendleton remained at Union University during the war and was a loyal unionist. He preached on Sunday and worked on the farm during the week. He constantly expected to be taken from his home and hanged. He always prepared at night a method of escape, yet he, despite proposals by the citizens of the community to hang him, never had to execute his plans. He lived in constant fear until the Army of the Cumberland occupied Murfreesboro in 1863.—Pendleton, op. cit., 127. [109] Proceedings of Southern Baptist Convention, 1845, p. 35. [110] Ibid., p. 28.
