Adams. we think n short sketch of his
life and services will be acceptable to
his numerous friends in this commu-
nifty When he was invited by the
vestry of the church IN st. Adams to
become their Rector, he was preach
ing in Virgi ia. He accepted the call,
and removed to ST Adams with his
familv. and was the Rector of the
parish til 1898, owing to the state of
his health, he thought it necessary to
change his residence; and accordingly
accepted a call to East Greenwich, Il.
r. He remained in that place three
or four years, when. owing to a change
in the pecuniary affairs of the society,
he resigned his charge, and accepted
a call to Saco IL the State Of Maine. -
At this place he resided about a year,
when he accepted an invitation TO
Fort Hamilton, near the city Of New
York. In consequence of the failure
and death of some of the principal
pal members OF the small society in
that place, he relinqulshel his charge,
and for year or two was employed
as q missionary in the Western part Of
Pennsylvania From this place
he removed to Waukegan in the
State Of Illinois. at the invitation Of q
society there Here his services were
very acceptable, and as he supposed
his residence might be continued in
the place for considerable time, he
purchased house for himself and
family This was his last place of
residence in his clerical capacity. His
health, which had been for several
years previous very poor became such
that after two or three years service
as Rector ofthe parish, he was obliged
to reliuquish his parochial charge,
and finally came to St Adams in the
Autumn of 1861, and died in March
following

Nashs residence in st. Adams was

and his reputation in the town and
vicinity continued to the last without
IA blemish. His removal from st.
Adams was unanimously regretted
He was of the low church order, and
for this reason, perhaps, his character
might not have been so highly appre-
ciated by high church men as some
others Of the higher grade, but not of
superior merit.
