an English Methodist minister, was born at Norton-in-Hales, August 6, 1828. He lost his parents in youth; was removed to Tunstall, where he attended the Primitive Methodist Sunday-school; became a teacher; was early converted, being always serious; and was accepted as a local preacher, winning many souls to Christ. He began to itinerate in 1854, and for twenty-three years preached faithfully and lovingly in the Tunstall district, his earnest appeals being very successful. In 1878 he settled at Shrewsbury as a supernumerary, working till his death, May 17, 1882.
