Franklin Leon Buzzard was born on June 27th ,1938, in Claremore, Oklahoma, to Franklin Falling and Mary Buzzard. Bro. Leon Buzzard was much more excited about his second birth. Many of you have heard the testimony. On a cold December night -Dec 22nd, 1950, at old Butler #2 when God reached out and saved a twelve-year-old Indian boy. He told of the man dressed in blue, with piercing blue eyes and snow-white hair who came down the aisle in that little schoolhouse revival and beckoned him to the altar. After services, when he looked for the man to thank him, no one else had seen that man. That was the beginning of his walk with God. Not long afterward, he fully dedicated his life to the Lord, and received the Holy Ghost and a call to preach. He began preaching sometime around the age of 13 years old. After walking with the Lord for over 54 years, preaching revivals, camp meetings, and pastoring eight different churches, he received another beckoning call, this time to come on home to receive his reward. On Friday afternoon, May 20th, 2005, while resting at his earthly home in Oklahoma, he answered that call.- (Courtesy of Holiness Messanger)
