Una, February 7, 1828; admitted on trial in the Conference in No- 

 vember, 1859, and sent to the Orangeburg Circuit; in 1861, to Mid- 

 dle St. John's Mission, after which he retired to the local ranks. In

Ellis , R euben was a native of North Carolina, entered the itin- 

 erancy in 1787, and continued about twenty years to travel and 

 preach through Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North and 

 South Carolina, and Georgia; a man of very sure and solid parts 

 both as a counselor and a guide. During twenty years' labor, he 

 never laid up twenty pounds by preaching; his horse, his clothing, 

 and immediate necessaries, were all he appeared to want of this 

 world. He died in Baltimore in February, 1796 , leaving, in the es- 

 timation of Bishop Asbury, no one in the connection higher, if equal 

 to him, in standing, piety, and usefulness. (See Chapter VII.)

 January 31, 1797; converted in 1817; admitted on trial in the

 successful, and honored minister of Christ. His talents commanded 

 for him the highest regard of his brethren, who intrusted him with 

 every position of responsibility within their gift; and he always 

 met the duties devolved upon him, and sustained his high charac- 

 ter as a minister. Wherever he labored, his name was " as oint- 

 ment poured forth." A clear expositor of the word of God, and an 

 eloquent preacher, he was eminently successful in winning souls to 

 Christ, and building up the Church of God. He died in peace at 

 his residence, near Sumter, South Carolina, March 4, 1868.

 and promised great usefulness to the Church. He died at Monroe, 

 in Union county, North Carolina, in complete triumph, September 

 29, 1855.
