MAssILLoN CORRESPONDENCE.

city. Mr. swan died on Saturday last,
and on Monday his remains were de-
posted in Massillon Cemetery in the
presence ofa large number of earnest and
sincere friends, who had known him
since his first coming to this city in 1886.
Mr.. Starkweather, then member of the
Legislature, obtained an "act to incor-
porate st. Timothy's Church of Massil-
Ion" and the services of Rev. Mr.. Swan
were engaged. He removed here with
young family, and for ten years was pas
tor of st. Timothy's to the entire accept
ance Of his growing church and congre-
cation. At the end of that period he re-
turned to Kentucky, then returned to
Ohio, accepting the pastorate of a church
at Newark, removing thence TO Maumee
City, where he resided at the time of his
death. While attending the late Dio-
cesar Convention at Cleveland he was
stricken down and never recovered. Mr.
Swan was educated at Trinity College,
Dublin, and we believe was a class mate
of Alexander r. Stewart, of New YORK.
He was ripe scholar, as unpretending
and simple hearted as a child, and at the
same time man of habitual frmness in
the advocacy of the riS Sht. He believed
and .ac ed ,pon the great principle that,
"They enslave their childrens' children,
Who make compromise with SIM"
Hence he was outspoken, always and
everywhere, and no one could fail to
know where to find him on the great
questions that during the last years of
his life agitated the country and the
church, upon all of which he lett the i'm
press of his character. He died at the
ripe age of seventy-four. "The path of
the just is as shining light. that
shineth more and more unto the perfect
day"
