Obituary..


THE LATE DIR. QUIGLEY.
The Smyrna Times pays the following well
merited tribute to the late Rev. Thomas ].
Quigley, D. D. -
.The Doctor was regarded as one of the ablest
theologians and logicians of the old Philadelphia
Conference, of which he was prominent a
member up to the time of separation of the
Wilmington Conference. His sickness was
complication of ADMINISTRATIONS, asthma, etc.
from which he suffered for several weeks. He
was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, on
the 22d of February, 1906, and was consequently
in his Goth year. He entered the ministry in
1886, and during the whole Of his ministerial life
filled stations in the two lower districts, v
Easton and Snow Hill, as they were formerly
constituted. He filled the pulpits of Smyrna
Circuit in 1S59-60, and resided in our midst for
some time after his appointment to the Elder
ship, we believe. Thoroughly devoted to his
high calling, his labors were unceasing. Decisive
in character, resoute in purpose, and mature in
Judgment, his opinion in matters of Church
polity was always potential, and his position in
the Conference was that of a leader. In social
life he was warmly esteemed, leading ian upright
walk and cliaste conversation" practicing at all
times what he preached-a bright representative
of the Christian gentleman. He died in peace
and tri,lmph"
