REV. WESLEY PRETTYMAN
Rev. Wesley Prettyman, a former Baltimorean, died of paralysis Saturday (18 May 1901) at his home in Rowland [Limestone County], Ala. He was born in 1828 in Chambersburg, Pa., and was the son of Rev. William Prettyman of the Baltimore Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church. He received his early education in this City. About 1850 he graduated in medicine at the University of Maryland, and soon afterward went to Athens, Ohio, where he practiced for 10 years.
He then entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, joining the Central Ohio Conference. Soon afterward he was sent as a missionary to Bulgaria and Turkey, where he remained several years. About 1867 he returned to Ohio on account of ill health, and continued in the ministry until he was first stricken by paralysis in Alabama about four years ago.
He was twice married, his first wife being a Miss Brown, of Ohio, who died many years ago. His second wife was Miss Adelia Peck, a relative of the late Bishop Jesse T. Peck of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who survives him. He is also survived by two married daughters by his first wife.
The body of Rev. Mr. Prettyman is expected to arrive in Baltimore tonight, and will be interred in Mount Olivet Cemetery tomorrow.

FROM: Minutes of the 90th Session of the Ohio Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Gallipolis, Ohio, 1901:
In 1848 he was united in marriage with Miss Anna M. Brown, daughter of the sainted Joseph S. Brown of the Ohio Conference. She shared the toils, sacrifices and severe ostracism of her husband in their varied fields. He was the father of seven children, five of whom are deceased. Two daughters remain, viz., Mrs. Lyda Thomas of Paris, and Mrs. Helen Waldo of North Dakota. The faithful wife passed to her reward December 21, 1894. About five years ago he was again married to Miss Adelia Peck, of Rowland, Ala,
