a Methodist Episcopal minister, was born at Warsaw, N. Y., June 9, 1823. He united with the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and was licensed to preach in 1845. After laboring with the Wesleyans with marked success until 1867, he, with several of his brethren, entered the Detroit Conference, in which he continued his successful labors until 1875, when failing health necessitated his superannuation.
