REV SAMUEL s. BRANCH.


REV. SAMUEL S. BRANCH.
Rev. Samuel s. Branch was born in the State
of Vermont, in the year 1902. In 1920, his
father removed to Ohio, and settled in Chester,
Meigs county, about one mile from the village,
formerly the county seat.
In April, 1884, the subject of this notice
made public profession of Christianity, and
was baptized by his uncle, the Rev. Eli Sted-
man, who was not only a pioneer settler of
Ohio, but pioneer minister. In the succeed
ing year Freewill Baptist church was organ
lied in Chester, of which Mr.. B. became an ac-
tive and efficient member, doing much, both
publicly and privately, in sustaining the in
stitutions Of the gospel. His zeal increased
with his years, and he at length entered upon
the consecrated work of the ministry. He was
ordained in the year lS4l, and, during the en-
suing twelve years, his time was much devoted
to ministerial labors, mostly in the limits of
the Ohio River Yearly Meeting embracing the
counties of Athens, Meigs, Gallia, Lawrence
and Sci6to, and in many instances, marked
success attended his ministry.
In 1853, closing his ministerial labors in
Ohio, he removed to Wayne county, Illinois,
where he permanently located. Although
rather isolated from the denomination to which
he belonged, his zeal did not abate, and in a
short time, had the pleasure of constituting
prosperous church in the vicinity of his resi-
dence. Here his labors were mostly confined,
until his death, which occurred Jan. %. 1862,
aged go years. His disease was consumption,
which he bore with becoming resignation.
From his youth up Mr.. Branch was distin4
guished for moral integrity, which, combined
with the refining and elevating influences of
the gospel, added additional luster to his char
acter.
He was highly esteemed and appreciated as
a minister. His singleness of purpose and uni
formly christian life, gave power and effect to
his public efforts.
He advocated the various reforms of the day
such as education temperance, moral reform,
missions, anti-slavery, &c. He was not con-
servative, but bold and fearless advocate for
truth, Justice, and right.
AS a friend and neighbor, he had no superb
ors. He possessed a benevolent heart, that
could feel for others woes often making sacri-
fees for their good.
AS sband, he was-kind and affectionate,
and set before his household an example con-
sstent with his profession, and worthy of i'm
itation. s-r-
He leaves wife, eight children, two broth
ers and three sisters, and large circle OF
fria IN hI,t ,ritb tbo,,f
hope.
His funeral sermon was delivered by Rev.
John Rhodes, and, another discourse, agreea-
BILE to his request, will be delivered in Chester,
his former place of residence, by Rev. J. z.
Haning, on the second Sabbath in May

The Two Parties.

1t is with real pleasure we transfer r
to our columns, an article from Harpers
Weekly. with the above title, which we
hope no one will omit to read. 1t is
we'll known that the publications of th e
Hurpers have been classed among the
most conservative. Their wide circula :
ton and all pervading influence, give
their utterances great mportance.-
And it is one of the hopeful signs of
the times, that they are not only i'm
bibing the living spirit of the age. but
are manfully stepping into the lead
1t is needless to say that the article has
nothing partisan in it, as the publica-
tion from which it is taken is not parti-
san in its chara ,ter. And this gives it
the more weight.

1t has seldom been our lot to witness more
peaceful and triumphant death than hers was;
although surrounded by circumstances that
rendered life peculiarly desirable, yet du-
ring all her sickness and suffering she was
never heard to complain, and when she felt
that she was dying, she remarked to one by
her side, "The angels have come--I must GO
call mother;' and after bidding her friends
good bye, and exhorting them to meet her in
heaven she died without a struggle.
