One of the members composing Ebenezer Presbyterian Church at its organization, and so far as we know, the last of its original members ... He was ordained an elder in Ebenezer Church in 1850. He was faithful to the flock over which the Lord made him an overseer. He has been known for more than forty years to your correspondent who can truly say he was one of the best men I ever knew.'
