a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was born Jan. 27,1825, and was converted at the age of eleven. In 1846 he was licensed to preach, and at the next session of the Erie Conference was received on trial. His ministry, though marked with many conversions was short, for he died April 9, 1853. He was a man of more than ordinary powers of mind- fervent, forcible, sublime, and generally powerful in his preaching. See Minutes of Annual Conferences, 1853, p. 248.
