DEATH OF REV. TOWNSEND.
The Pastor OF the Church OF the Holy
Faith In santa Fe Passes
Quietly Away.
From the New Mexican, 10th.

From the New Mexican, 18th.
Early on Sunday morning, the Rev
Hale Townsend, quietly and peacefully
breathed his last. He had been an
invalid for some months, but continued
his clerical labors as far az he Was
able until about six weeks ago, since
which time he has been confined to the
house.
Mr.. Townsend came to Santa Fe a
year and a half ago from California, to
take charge OF the church OF the Holy
Faith. He was born In Detroit, but
his parents removed soon after to New
York, and were connected with a num-
Der OF the best known families In the
Empire state
The same devotion TO principle
which characterized his whole lif-, led
him to study for the sacred ministry,
10 this he was devoted to the day OF
his death.
At different times he had parishes
in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Cali
fornia, and other states, being es
pecially successful in Iowa In building
churches at Independence, Waverly
DEBORAH, and Emmelsburg
But that which characterized bis life
vas not found in great achievements OF
conspicuous positions. but in his sweet
pess of disposition, his cheerfulness
under all circumstances, his entire de-
votion to his work in the ministry, ard
that absolute goodness which i'm
pressed everyone who knew him. His
life itself was his best sermon. His
practice preached more loudly than
airy words. The INFLUENCE of his pure,
uuse.hsh life was Of ineslimable value
No one could be with him withou.
being better. His presence in the com
munity was like Q heBediction and,
has been recently said, he did more
good on q bed OF sickness than may
a clergyman using every power Ct ell
oquencs in the pulpit.
a.rhe ir fluence OF his brief sojourn 10
Sapta Fe Of that example of @ quiet,
loVing, helpfgl aEd sympathetic life,
guided always by the highest sense oil
Christian datY, will long be felt, as an
example which others may we'll seek to
follow.
MIR. Townsend was a member OF the
standing committee Of the Jurisdiction
of New Mexico, and held other respon.
sible positions.
At morning service, y~eaterday,
Bishop Kendrick spoke OF his death,
and in the afternoon the committee il
charge of the church here, adopted q
minute Expressive OF their sorrow and
their appreciation of his character.
His funeral will take place, to.mor.
row a. 10 a. m /, at the church Of the
Holy Faith.
