Branch) ; and made request to be buried at Cypress camp-ground. 

 With an affectionate farewell to the members of Conference, and 

 with a last entreaty to those about him to "look to Jesus," he closed 

 his eyes in death without a struggle, October 11, 1878. 



Flemming, William Honour was born in Charleston, January 

 1, 1821; converted to God in early life, and entering the Conference 

 in 1841, was appointed to Combahee and Ashepoo Mission; 1842, 

 Cooper River; 1843, Edgefield; 1844, Smith ville; 1845, Santee Mis- 

 sion; 1840, Marion; 1847, Black River and Pedee; 1848, Sampit 

 Mission; 1849, Bladen; 1850, Savannah River Mission; 1851, Dar- 

 lington; 1852, Orangeburg; 1853, Cypress Circuit; 1854-55, Sumter- 

 ville; 1856-57, Bethel, Charleston; 1858-59, Trinity; 1860, Bethel;

 District; 1873-74, Columbia District; 1875, Marion District; 1876, 

 Bethel, Charleston. He was three times chosen as a delegate to the 

 General Conference, and was a member of the General Mission Board 

 at the time of his death. In all his relations to the work, he was 

 acceptable and useful — his experience was large, his judgment clear, 

 his counsel judicious and safe. In disposition he was kind and be- 

 nevolent, and his genial nature attracted and won all hearts. His 

 sermons were prepared with care, and, if not brilliant, they were 

 evangelical and instructive, and his congregations retired with the 

 conviction that they had been listening to a thoughtful and earnest 

 minister of Jesus Christ. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was con- 

 ferred on him by Trinity College in North Carolina. He died April 

 16, 1877, and his body lies in Bethel church-yard, beneath a beauti- 

 ful monument erected by his congregation, while his spirit realizes 

 his dying sentiment: "How nice it will be when we meet up there!"

 1858-59, Lexington Circuit; 1860-61, Prince William Mission; 

 1862-64, Coalfields Mission; 1865, Chesterfield Circuit; 1866, Cooper 

 River Circuit; 1867-69, supernumerary; 1870, superannuated. He 

 was a willing and faithful workman, and according to the talents 

 committed to him gave convincing proof of his call to preach the 

 gospel of Christ. His efficiency was most manifest when working 

 among the broken-hearted in time of revivals. Through his hum-
