Durant, Henry Hill was born in Horry District, South Caro- 

 lina, April 3, 1814; joined the Church when about eleven years old, 

 and converted soon after; licensed to preach at about eighteen; ad- 

 mitted on trial in the Conference in February, 1834, and was appoint- 

 ed successively to Union Circuit, Cooper River, Walterboro, Wao- 

 camaw, Black Swamp (two years), Barnwell, Cypress, Wadesboro, San- 

 tee, Fayetteville, Bennettville, Georgetown, Black Swamp, Spartan- 

 burg Circuit, Spartanburg Station, Lincolnton District (four years), 

 Abbeville two years, and Spartanburg Station. In 1858 he was agent 

 of Spartanburg Female College, and the three succeeding years agent 

 for Wofford College. He served as chaplain of the South Carolina 

 Volunteers in the civil war, and reluctantly resigned because of ill 

 health and returned to his home in Spartanburg to die. He was an 

 able and useful minister of Christ; in exhortation powerful and 

 prevailing; while in prayer he was remarkably gifted, and seemed 

 at times to lift his congregation with him to the throne of God. He 

 bore his last affliction with Christian confidence and resignation, and 

 died in peace, December 3, 1861. 



Du Bose, Joshua T. was born in Darlington District, South Caro- 

 lina, April 13, 1822; converted at the age of eighteen; served as a 

 local preacher five or six years, and was received on trial in the 

 itinerant ranks in 1853, and sent to Darlington Circuit. He con- 

 tinued to travel till 1859, when he was appointed to Dallas Circuit; 

 but it pleased God to lay his hand upon him in affliction, and he never 

 undertook the work assigned him. After several months of suffer- 

 ing and decline in his native district, he entered into his rest on the 

 25th of July, sending this message to the Conference from the shore 

 of Jordan : " Tell all the brethren of the Conference that I preached 

 as long as I could, and now that I can preach no longer, I die at my 

 post. My Saviour is an all-sufficient Saviour." 



Du Pre, Girard George Washington was born in Greenville, 

 South Carolina, November 24, 1837; converted in 1859; admitted on 

 trial in the South Carolina Conference in December of the same 

 year, and sent to Wadesboro Circuit ; and in 1861 to Monroe Circuit 

 in North Carolina. Attacked with hemorrhage of the lungs, he re- 

 turned to friends in the Wadesboro Circuit, where, without a struggle, 

 he fell asleep in Jesus on the 27th of August; and his remains, at 

 his own request, were taken and buried beside his mother at Green- 

 ville. He fell early in the battle, but with armor on, at his post, and 

 in full view of the crown of glory that fadeth not away.
