WHERE BISROP ASBURY DIED
The House In SDOiygania County is Still
Standing.

The pioneer Methodist Bishop. Francis
Asbury. after life OF great labor and
achievement. died in Spotsylvania Coun-
tn. The house where the distinguished
bishop died is still standing and is now
owned by the widow OF Rev. j. ". r..
Jones.
When Bishop Asbury, feeble and weak
IN body. reached the county from Rich
mond, where lac preached his last sermon,
he went 70 this historic house, then
owned by Mr. George Arnold, devoted
friend OF the bishops, where, on March
p. 1916, he passsd to his eternal re-
ward.
In the burying ground OF the Arnold
family the remains OF the great bishop
were inferred, but later they were con
veyed by authority OF the church to the
city OF Baltimore and deposited under
the pulpit Of the Eutaw Street Church.
Dr. G. G. Smith, one OF the bishops
biographers. says Of him: 1T Is, think,
a fact that Asbury up 10 the time he
died. had preached more sermons than
any other man then livingin the world.
