Born: Kentucky, 1804.
Died: Illinois, 1861.
After his marriage to Miss Emma Hathaway, near Mt. Sterling, he came to Illinois in 1835 and settled in Clary's Grove, Menard County. There he soon became the leading man in the church, and never for one minute faltered in his devotion to its best interests and in his defense of the primitive gospel to the day of his death. As an elder for years, he conducted the public worship when no preacher was present, teaching and admonishing his brethren and continually abounding in all good works. His house was the minister's home. He was one of the Lord's great men. He was the father of Mrs. J. W. Judy and Mrs. S. B. Callaway.
