REV. W. WYDMAN.

Rev. William H. Wydman, formerly pastor of the Greenwood M. E. circuit, and also of the Seventh street church, of Indianapolis, died in that city last Friday night. He was born at Lancaster, O., March 10, 1841, and in his boyhood moved to Cincinnati, where he followed the occupation of painter. When the war occurred he enlisted and served forty-four months in the Eleventh Ohio Volunteer infantry. He came to Indiana in 1871 as an itinerant Methodist minister, and ever since has made this state his home. In 1887 he was stricken with typhoid fever, which brought on heart and lung complications of rheumatism, resulting in three years of suffering, which he endured patiently. Mr. Wydman was much esteemed for his Christian character, and among the old soldiers held a high place. He was at one time chaplain of George H. Thomas Post, and he died a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Odd Fellows and Masonic order. He leaves a wife and two children.
