MALLORY - At Earlville, Delaware County, Iowa on the 22nd of August, Rev. Patrick Mallory, in the 66th year of his age.

He was a native of New York and came to this state about 13 years ago; he first settled at Lamotte, in Jackson County, from thence he came to this county, all of which time he was engaged as a preacher of the gospel as well as industriously cultivating a farm; except for the last three years he gave up the latter on account of failing health. He was religiously what is call and known of the Christian persuasion, a denomination which claims to take the old and new testament as their only rule and guide, discarding all differences of opinion as to what them deem non-essentials as the different modes of water baptism; the state of the dead between the death of the body and the general resurrection or coming of Christ, &c. Elder Mallory, it seems, was a self-made man, possessing a mind ever active, with a good persuasive expression, as well as a considerable degree of natural originality, he became a very useful and instructive preacher, which has occupied a good share of his time for the last 20 years. He was the first and older preacher of his persuasion in northern Iowa, if not in the State. Throughout his whole course as a Christian and preacher there remains not a blot or stain, and though a republican in politics, he has never been guilty of desecrating the Sabbath and pulpit by political harangues; but on the contrary always openly declared against it as impious. Where is there another of any persuasion among the protestant clergy that can say as much? Respected and beloved by all who knew him as a Christian, friend and neighbor, while living, though he is now gone from among us; yet his influence will live even to the benefit of many generations yet unborn.

Suggested edit: PATRICK MALLORY. (1802—1868.)—Patrick was born in New York in 1802, and was of Irish parentage. He was converted while young, and although impressed with the idea that it was his duty to preach, he did not enter the ministry until his mind became so wrought upon, that he would preach in his sleep. Crowds would assemble to hear him, so peculiar was the case. His discourses at such times were clear and logical, more so than they would have been, perhaps, had he known of what was going on around him. In 1830, he removed to Huron County, 0., and there began his career as a minister. He was ordained in the Central Ohio Conference, in 1836. In 1842, he assisted in the organization of the Huron Conference, and continued an active member of that body until his removal to Jackson County, Iowa, in 1853, where he preached the gospel until a short time before his death, which occurred at Earlville, Delaware County, Iowa, August 22,1868. His education was not extensive by any means, but there were few more correct preachers than he at the time of his death. His • sermons were clear, logical, and he never failed to be understood by his hearers.
Elder Mallory had many excellent qualities, and not the least of these was his affectionate solicitude in the encouragement of those young men who felt "woe is me, if I preach not the gospel." Having suffered so much himself, from a sense of duty, he was ready to encourage and strengthen those who felt impressed with the same.
