Princeton Theological Seminary. In
lS4O he acted as supply for the Pres
byterian church of Knox, N. Y. He
was ordained by the Presbytery of
Albany on February IT, 1871, and
was pastor of the Presbyterian church
at Northampton, N. Y, for the next
twenty years. From 1860 to 1876
he was in charge of the Presbyterian
church at Mariaville, N. Y, and sub
sequently he preached in the church,
es of Worthwhile, Sloansville, Esper-
anee and West Milton, all in the
Presbytery of Albany. Since 1898,
when he retired from active work in
the ministry, he had made his home
at Sloansville, N. Y. His loyal inter-
est in Princeton continued through
his long life, and two years ago he
enrolled to vote for alumni trustee.
Last year he contributed to the Mas
sau Lit. an interesting description of
