This faithful soldier of the cross was a member of Bethany Church, Macon County, Tennessee. He was born July 17, 1812, while our young nation was in the throes of was with her mother country, for the second time. He was not ordained, however, until after the close of the Civil War, June 21, 1868, when he was set apart to the full work of the gospel ministry, by the following Presbytery, viz.: Elders W. M. Turner, D. W. Smith, JohnPatterson, W. L. Buie, L. A. Minick.
He was not what the world would call a great preacher, and never did any pastoral work, but he was busy going into the highways and hedges, and many destitute sections were blessed by his labors, and many will rise up in "that day" to call him blessed. He was a man of unquestioned piety, and always zealous for the cause of Christ. He was a kind and affectionate husband and father. HE went to his reward April 16, 1877, leaving a widow and five children to mourn their loss.
