Gone to his Reward.
The death Of the Rev. John A. Badger, in
White8eld. October 18th, at the age of II years,
makes another break in the old Badger family,
whose genealogy WAS recently traced in the
"Maine Bioerapher." His father, Joseph Bsdg.
or. came to Maine toward the close of the last
century, and settled in the town of Industry.
Subsequently be removed to Pennington, where
he pursued the business Of tanner. His tannery
stood on the spot now occupied BY the Little

youngest Of eight children, three of whom sur
vive At the present time-Mr. Charles Owen of
Lisbon. aged SO years; Mrs. Jeremiah Owen Of
Brunswick. aged 70; Mr.. Daniel Badger Of Phil
lips, aged 49, Rev. Mr.. Badger, just deceased,
leaves three children: Mary Jane, the wife Of
Rev. Leonard Cox Of Pennsylvania; Joseph n,
preacher Of note in New York; and Sarah, the
wife Of DR.. Isaac s. Curtis. Mr.. Badger spent
many Year, Of his life In Brunswick, following
the profession OF preacher in the so-calsd "old
school" Baptist faith, and also the occupation Of
boot and shoe maker. He could do genuine work
in both cases. Elder Badgers boots were
sought after in Brunswick as they were known

workmanship. The whole of bis religion was
not in his prayers or exhortations, and they we're
oil earnest, pointed and touching. He despised
what be call 1.-The newfangled" methods of grind
ing out ministers at colleges, universities and
the theological seminaries, and depended more
upon the special call and election of the Almighty
than upon the culture Of he schools. Let it not
be thought, however, that he was
uncultivated. Many . tyro in preaching found
out that fact; he drank deep draughts from
the "wells Of salvation" and his knowledge
of scripture and human nature was deep, broad
and intensely practical. He Was one of the most
tender hearted and affectonate of men. The wave
and the pillows of grief have passed over him, In
the loss Of beloved wife and darling children;
the fountains Of sorrow were unstopped, and these
later months "Unce John" has gone with bowed
head and stricken heart; united at last, though
the vision tarried, the joys of . family reunion
above have come.
