"Feb. 7. I attended the funeral service of the Rev. Samuel Minns, colored Priest, of the English church, from the Diocese of Nassau. Mr. Minns had been for some time resident in Savannah, engaged in teaching and giving services to the Parish of St. Stephen’s. He was buried from that church. I was assisted in this service by Rev.
