+, Simeon Theodore Dunbar was born
in Minerva, Essex county, N. Y, Aug.
II 1882. In his fourth year his fam
lily came to Brighton, Lorain county,
O.. where he resided until he entered
the regular ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
On May /, 1855, he was united IN
marriage with Ellen E. Ackley OF
East Haddam, Conn, who after "a
years of married life survives him.
To this union were born three chill
dren, Mrs. T. M. Foutz of Madison,
O., Prof. B. A. Dunbar of Brookings,
S. D., and Rev. Frank l. Dunbar OF
Mentor, o., who also survive him.,
In 1860, Brother Dunbar was he
ensed local preacher in the M. E.
church and supplied various pulpits
until 1868, when he was received on
trial into the travelling ministry, in
the North Ohio Conference, by Bishop
Ames, and was appointed to the Ver-
million charge. His subsequent
charges were Brunswick, 187172-73
and Us; Richfeld, 1874; Penfeld, Gal
ena, Grace church, Delaware; Mount
Gilead, Crestline and Doylestown, Civ
ing thirty-four years of earnest and
effective service to the church. In
1902 on account of his wife's failing
health, he took the retired relation,
and settled in North Madison, near
his daughters home. For several
years he filled the pulpit of the local
Congregational church, until physical
weakness compelled him to discontin-
ue any regular service.
Z In 1851 he raised and drilled full
/, company of volunteers for the Civil
War, having been commissioned cap
tain in the state forces, but was three
times refused acceptance on account
of physical disability. In spite of
this he never spared himself in his
ministry, answering every call for
service and sympathy with such whole
heartedness as to leave deep and
lasting impression at every point
touched by his life.
For several years he had been very
feeble, gradually growing more and
more so, until January 16, from which
date he was confined to his bed until
Feb. 13, 1919, when, with his entire
family about him, he quietly and
peacefully entered into rest, the first
break in the family circle.
AS a husband and father, he was
always kind, attentive and unselfish;
as preacher, thoughtful and strong;
as a pastor, beloved by all, both in
and out of the church; as a child of
the King, crowned at last.
