to preach in the summer of 1873.In the fall of that year he joined the

he was on the Cane Ridge circuit; in 1877, Rocky Springs circuit; in 1878,
Waynesboro circuit; in 1879, Yazoo circuit. He was in very delicate health,
and was thus sent from point to point to see what benefit he could derive
from the change. Experiencing no permanent benefit so far, he concluded to
try the pacific coast, and in 1879 he was transferred to the Los Angeles
Conference, and was put in charge of the Lompoc circuit. In the fall of 1880
he was again transferred, this time to the Pacific Conference, and appointed
to Wheatland circuit. In 1882-3 he was in the Yuba City circuit. "In September,
1883, our deceased brother was attending camp-meeting services at Wheatland,
