August S. Alderman- "Of this brother's early life, I have been able to find no account. When he died, in 1876, he was a man not far from fifty years of age. His home for many years was on Sunday Creek Perry County, Ohio. He was a member of the Monroe Christian Church and a leading minister of the Eastern Ohio Christian Conference. He was both a convert and c o-laborer of Elder John McDonald, and their farms were in the same neighborhood. As a minister he stood high with his brethren. He was a good speaker and zealous worker. Being a farmer, and having a family and living in a county where minosters' salaries were small, he could not devote the time to acquire the knowledge he felt necessary to a minister of the Gospel. Nevertheless, he filled a wide place in the church and his death before the period of old age had weakened his physical and mental powers was a great loss to the church, the conference and the denomination.
