LIFE OF ELIAS
D. BRENDLE,

Since coming into the Tuckasei-
gee Association it has been very in
teresting and helpful to this writer
to trace by their noble words, deeds
and sacrifices, the footprints of our
toiling pioneer preachers of this
mountain country.
Their lives remind us of our fore
fathers in the trying days of Roger
Williams. Their faith was akin to
that of Abraham's. 1t is not only
INSPIRING, but greatly encouraging
to keep fresh in our memory the
heroic deeds of pioneer Christian
fathers. They did the sowing and
we are reaping the harvest that re-
suits from their earnest tolls in
clearing the ground and SCATTERING
the seed. Our new and better
chur Oh buildings, larger member
ships, Sunday Schools, and Christ
ian Institutes; and best of all sound
principles are due, largely, to their
untiring efforts amid difficulties
that confronted them on every
hand in their day.
In this article, it is my purpose
TO give, from what information I
am able to get (most of which
am inoebted to Mrs A.. B. Dills) a
brief history of the life and minis
terial labors of Rev.. Elias David
Brendle.
Henry Brendle, the father of E.
D. Brendle came from Germany
and settled in Western N. c. He
married Mary Bevers. Out of this
union was born E. D. Brendle, the
eldest son June the 30th 1914. He
had four brothers, John, Jos eph,
Henry and James: We know not
where these brothers settled nor
any thing of their families. Henry
Brendle-the father of Ed, E. D.
Brendle- moved to Haywood Co..
1922. where he reared what is reco-
.niZed as one of the most prominent
families in Western Carolina. He
died March IL, 1857. Mary his be-
loved wife died two years later
Rev. E. D. Brendle grew up to
Young manhood and was welded
40 Celinda Plott Nov. 4, 1888, and
settled in that part now known as
Jackson County, near Sylvia.
Signs of the old homestead are
vet standing where Bro Brendle al
ways lived and from which he
went to receive his great reward
for the faithful service he render
cred as a Christian minister.
He reared six children-as fol-
lows-Margaret, who married Mr..
Ammons the mother Of p. M. Am
mons now Go 1ernor of the State of
Colorado. The End daughter is
Mary M. who married } A. Franks;
The 3rd Sarah A. who married John
Montieth; The 4th daughter is
,Celinda j. who was welded TO MT.
A. B. Dills to whom have been oorn
horn six children, most OF wnom
are living in and around sylvia.
They are among one OF the ms
,rominent families of the colnmdI4--
~ We trust that the examples O.
Mrs Dills in her faithfulneSs to re-
sunday School will be followed o oy
all he children. The 5-h dauen-
.sst-t: ~ t

living in Colorado has q son who
was one of the presidential Electors
IN Wilson's Election. They also
nave a daughter holding a high DO
sltlon at salary of $500 a year.
The only son of Rev. E. D. Bren,
Ole, Il. ?. Brendle, now lives in Okla
homa. Many grand children and
great-frand children have and are
growing up into manhood and
womanhood and settling in differ
ent parts of the country. We trust
that may of this large relation
may follow the examples of the'old
father, AMI be as great in their age
as ne was in the time he lived.
The religious career of Rev. E. D.
brendle is most interesting and in,
spring. 1t will, because of the
9 eat deeds and ministerial service
OF his life, attended by so many
sacrifices and difficulties, be kept
IN memory for many years to come
Inc more one inquiries into his
lie the more DELIGHTFULLY."- interest
Ing 1t becomes. S lch a noble ex-
ample and character should be
we'll preserved and never forgotten
by his descency.
We find by our search for infor-
nation that Rev. E. D. Brendle un-
tied With SCOTS Creek Baptist
church Sept. 9, 1915, and was or
dained deacon of that church
May Il, 1847. He was liberated by
the church to exercise his gifts
June 10, 1852. After short time
Nov. %, 1853, he was ordained to
the full work of the Gospel minis
try by a presbytery consisting of
Richard Evans, Houston Parker and
Samuel Gipson.
Bro. Brendle belonged to the
Tnckaseieee Association. +hnn ecc-
braclng three countica-11ay voo1,
jackson and Macon. He spent
his entire life in this section. He
IVES pastor of Mount Pleasant, River
Hill, Savannah, Tdckaseigee, Locust
Field, East Fork, Shady Grove, Shoal
Creek, Bryson City Franklin, Gull
lowhee and many other churches in
the Association. He lived when
there was no Rail Road and when
travelling was mainly done on horse
back. His home was always near
where Sylvia now is. From this
point he took numerous toilsome
trips over the mountains horseback
and served churches ard held
many meetings through three coun.
ties. 1t is impossible for us now
living to get slight conception of
the hardships that this man of
God and others endured to establish
Christianity in this section and to-
plant the principles that were dear
Or to them than life itself. Are we
appreciating their servecies as we
should? Are we doing what we
ought to sustain the cause for
Which such men as Elias D. Brendle
20 greatly suffered and eacrificed?
May theis lives and examples
stand out wildly before us to in
'pire and encourage us to under
AXE greater things for the onward
move of our Lords Kingdom.
Bro. Brendle was associated in
he ministry with Revs. BENJAMIN
Hatfield, Geo. TAYLOR, Humphrey
Posey, VIM. Haines, David Elders.
VIM. Crawford, Vim. Ensley, Benja-
min Queen, Noah Corn, |. T. Wright
Joshua Ammons, Thomas Henson
who baptized him. Many others
lived and labored side by side with
Bro. Brend e. Among them all
stood with the highest as
the Bible Interpreter and spirited
adviser.

Neglect the Care of Your Scalp
And Your Hair Will Become a Disgrace

The hair is more exposed and hence
more liable to accumulate dust ana
dirt than any other portion of the body,
In spite of this the hair receives. as
a rule, the least attention and no real
effort is made to keep it healthy.
IF the dandruff germ is allowed 10
work unmolested and the scalp be-
comes crusted with dirt Accommodations,
one may expect the hair to die ana
fall out. There is no cause for surprise
in this phenomenon; 1t Is natural anu
happens in every instance where the
care of the hair and scalp IS overlook

LINCOLN'S GREATNESS.

Former Governor Stokes, speaking at New
ark February II, said that Lincoln is the typi-
cal Republican, and that he was looked upon
as reactioncry and stand-pat by the radical
abolitionists of his time. On the same night
Theodore Roosevelt, in New York, held Lin
coin up as the great Progressive, and declared
he was looked upon as too radical by the old
time political leaders of his day. Truly Lin.
coin was a great man to stand as the patron
saint of two such modern political organiza-
lions which claim they can never be united on
a common principle.

the members, by increasing the health officers

a step that is bound to result in much good
for the city. The health department of mum,
cipalities has been too long neglected. The
people are beginning to realize the Importance
of the work it performs and We do not believe
there is any objection to the increase in salary
as long as much efficient work is to be done.
