ton, near Chicago. He taught for some time there, and then was 
for six years minister in the Rock River Conference. Returning in 
1861 to Canada, he was called to the Chair of Natural Science in 
the Ladies’ College in this city, filling it with great acceptability for 
20 years, when he and his family moved to California. He died at 
Los Angeles on July 3rd, 1893, aged 65 years. 
As a boy he was very bright and studious. He had a splendid 
memory ; at 13 years of age his name was on the collége register 
with names of young men almost twice as old, and his teacher at 
that time declared that he had already passed a course of long, hard 
classical study, with others so many years older than himself. Asa 
minister he was instructive. He was a successful teacher, and made 
his class-room a very pleasant place. . 
He was witty, intelligent and very kind, and as has already 
been hinted, his face was the exponent of a spirit,whose life-purpose 
being cheerfulness, had indelibly written upon it a radiant hopeful- 
ness. 
Previous to his death he had a long period of weary suffering ; 
yet even up to the last he did not complain, and retained his char- 
acteristic courage.
