HIS TORY OF THE Q UA R R11
N O T E S . There were several intermarriages of cousins in the family : A grandson of Harriet
Laidley married his second cousin, a daughter of her sister, Letsy D. Whitteker. A son of Eliza Dryden, (afterwards Mrs. Faure), married his second cousin, the grand-daughter of Mrs. Helen S. Eoff and o f Mrs. Whitteker. A son of Mrs. Whitteker married his first cousin, a daughter of Mrs. Eoff. Another son of Mrs. Whitteker married his first cousin, a daughter of Mrs. Margaret A . Woods. A son of Mrs. Eoff married his first cousin, another daughter of Mrs. Woods. A grandson of Mrs. Eoff and of Mrs. Whitteker married his third cousin, or cousin twice removed, a daughter of J. M . Laidley and grand-daughter of Mrs. Harriet Laidley. Thus the descendants of one sister, in several instances, are the co-descend ants of one or more other sisters.
These inter marriages of cousins make a complication difficult of comprehension, unti l examined and explained, and, that it may be better understood by those interested, a table is prepared, giving the numbers from the primogeniture column of the co-descendants of the several sisters, as well as their other descendants, and by reference to the geneölogical table they can be distinguished.

At the death of Mrs. Betsy D. Whitteker, in August, 1881, A. T. Laidley succeeded as the oldest living member of the Quarrier blood in this country.
$ The first-born of Col. Quarner's descendants, (second generation,) was his son Alexander, who died in infancy • the last birth of that generation is Mrs. Virginia S. Smith
lhe first of the thi.d generation were the twins, A. T. Laidley and his sister, Corinna-the last is Fannie Lucille, daughter of W. B. Quarrier, born October 23, ^58, the wife of R W. Morrow, of Wheeling. The first of the fourth generation was the late Richard () Laidley deceased. The first of the fifth generation is Dorcas, wife of Joel 11. Ruffner, of Charleston' And the first of the sixth generation is K. I I . Graham, of Piedmont, W. Va. a great great grandson of Mrs. Eoff and Mrs. Whitteker.
TO the time of closing this record of births in the family, the number of descendants of each of the twelve children of Col. Quarrier is as follows:
Co-descendants— Mrs. Laidley and Mrs. Whitteker, 3 ; Mrs. Laidlev, Mrs Whitteker and Mrs. Eoff, 2; Mrs. Dryden, Mrs. Eoff and Mrs. Whitteker, 2 ; Mrs. Eoff anil Mrs Woods, 19; Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Whitteker, 19; Mrs. Eoff and Mrs. Whitteker, 22.
Other descendants—Mrs. Laidley, 34; Mrs. Dryden, 12 ; Mrs. Woods, 42 ; Mrs. Eoff 63 ; Mrs. Whitteker, 63; A. W. Quarrier, 62; W. B. Quarrier, 2 7 ; James Y. Quarrier, 27 j Gustavus B. Quarrier, 12; A. A. Quarrier, 10; Mrs. Shrewsbury, 23; Mrs. Smith, 3.
The birth of twins in the family has not been of common occurrence. The letter " T " following the name in the table, indicates who are twins. In the great number of births in the #mily, it will be observed that none of the children of Col. Quarrier were parents of the number of whom he was father. The greatest number borne by any one of them was twelve by Mrs. Whitteker, Wm. B. Quarrier the father of eleven, and Mrs Eoff the mother of ten.
Of the grandchildren of Col. Quarrier,(the third generation), four are parents of ten children, each, all of whom are living, neither having had a death in their respective families. Several of them are fathers and mothers, with children almost grown to manhood and womanhood. These four who have been so blessed in not being afflicted with the loss of their offspring, are James M. Laidley, Elizabeth S. Clarkson, Virginia S. Moodey and Caroline M. Tallant. The parents of these forty living children survive, except two; the husbands of Mrs. Clarkson and Mrs. Moodey have departed this life. These facts will all appear in the tables, but to bring the incident in a more direct form to the attention of those interested, it is recorded as here shown.
Col. Quarrier, in his memoir, speaks of Lord Grey and Admiral Keith as relatives of his mother. These were the first Earl Grey and the first Lord Elphinstone, descended from the Keiths,-renowned in Scottish history. How these distinguished Scotchmen were related

20 HISTORY OF THE QUA RA'
name of Grey does not appear among any of the descendents of our American ancestor while, in several instances, the name of Keith does. There is a Margaret Keith Whitteker' •a Keith Quarrier, a Keith Fontaine, a Wm. Keith Johnson, ami others, thus named that our ancient relatives, away back in the eailier centuries, may be perpetuated. These were distinguished officers in the British Navy, and both engaged in the American war.
Admiral Keith was the Lord of many titles, honors, and dignities, conferred upon him by his government. Among his promotions were : "Admiral of the Blue," January, 1801 ; "The thanks of Parliament for his services in Egypt;" "Baron of the United Kingdom,'' December, 1801; "The Freedom of the Corporation of London, with a sword;" "The Order of the Crescent," from the Grand Seignior; "A State Councillor for Scotland," and many others. He was born in 1747, and died the 10th of March, 1823, full of years and honors, and his death mourned and lamented by his countrymen. His biographer, in closing an article published in an Engliáh work, with a portrait of the Admiral, entitled the "National Portrait Gallery," London, 1S32, says : "For the space of more than half a century he had served his country with indefatigable zeal, and discharged the most important trusts in a manner which reflected equal lustre upon his judgment and his integrity. An able officer, a brave sailor, an upright politician and a good man, he has left a bright example to every class of society, and when we see it followed, either in private or public life, it would be a pleasing idea to entertain, that, in the words of his motto, this
'CAUSE CAUSED I T . ' " .
Col. Quarrier's maternal ancestors, as far back as he gives any account of them, were named A L EXANDER, from whom, together with his own, the many of the names of his own descendants are derived. While it is gratifying to know, that in many instances the descendants of an honorable and a worthy ancestor have perpetuated the name by.giving his name to their children, in one or more cases, it is on the other hand to be regretted, that in some instances, where there are many children, and children's children^to the third and fourth generation, the name QUARRIER does not appear at all. In two or more instances there are numerous descendants, and yet, in as many as thirty or forty, there is but one (and that one of very recent birth) bearing the name of Quarrier, The effect of this omission will inevitably be, that these children and their descendants will never know from whom they sprung. It cannot be that the name was repugnant to their forefathers, for there is not one in the vocabulary of names, scriptural, ancient, or modern, more agreeable to pronounce, or more euphonical ; its rarity is its beauty and peculiarity. The failure to so recognize the name is from accident rather than from any unworthy motive, but it is nevertheless very much to be deplored, and cannot escaptferthe notice of those to whom the name is associated, with every event of their lives, with a deep rooted affection and love. Gratitude is a duty, a virtue, implanted in our nature by the Divine Creator ; to fail to exercise or perform it may be a sin to be repented of.
Cot. Quarrier died, as is elsewhere mentioned, the 24th May, 1827, leaving thirteen of his sixteen children surviving him, six of whom had married and had issue. In his lifetime there were living of these, twenty-three, all of tender age. Some of his children lived to an advanced age, exceeding his own years. Mrs. Laidley died within two months of 87 ; Mrs. Fame, aged 78; Mrs. Woods, 7S ; Mrs. Eoff, 83; A. W. Quarrier, 68; Mrs. Whitteker, 84 ; W. B. Quarrier, 63; Monroe, 54; Gustavus, 48; J. Y.Q uarrier, 62 j A. A. Quarrier, 75.
The first death of the survivors of their father was his son, Gustavus ; the second, Monroe; the third, William B.; the fourth, Alexander W.; the fifth, James Y.; the sixth, Mrs. Faure ; the seventh, Mrs. Woods; the eighth, Mrs. Laidley ; The ninth, Mrs. Ebff; the tenth, Mrs. Whitteker ; the eleventh, Archibald A. The survivors are Mrs. Shrewsbury and Mrs. Smith.
Three of the thirteen children were twice married—Eliza, Margaret and Virginia—but no issue, by but one marriage, in either case.
The widows of three of the sons survive—Mrs. W. B. Quarrier, of Wheeling, Mrs. G. B. Quarrier, of Kanawha, and Mrs. A. A. Quarrier, of Louisville, Ky.
Of the depths in the family, there have been of the Quarrier name : First generation, 1 ; second generation, 14; third generation, 14; fourth generation, 4. Others of the Quarrier blood : Third generation, 22 ; fourth generation, 36; fifth generation, 15 ; sixth generation, I . Others connected with the family, not of the blood affinity : First generation, 2 : second generation, 13; third generation, 16; fourth generation, 3.

Monroe engaged quite young as a Deputy Sheriff of Kanawha County, and later became as Laptain s mate on steamboats navigating the Kanawha and Ohio rivers; afterwards had the command as master of several vessels in succession, running the Ohio and Mississippi
1 7 ^ "J. t h e P ' t s b u r « > Cincinnati, St. Louis'and New Orleans trade, together with the trade of Mobile m Alabama. It was during this period, in 1S48, when he performed the heroic deed of saving the hves^of a-large number of passengers and crew, on board of a burning vessel, and which gained him so much applause in several of the southern cities. The papers of that day were full of accounts of his noble daring on the occasiomof that eventful disaster An extract from an article heretofore published, shows the particulars, in part, of this noble deed of Captain Quarrier : " I t was while he was commander of a fine steamer in the latter trade, in 1848, that the City Council of Mobile voted him a- splended silver tea-set as a testimonial of appreciation for his noble daring in leaving the wharf at Mobile with his steamer laden to the water's edge with cotton, to rescue those in peril on a burning ship seen by him at a distance of nine miles from the city, on which occasion he was instrumental in rescuing more than a hundred lives from a frightful death. Among the distinguished tokens presented to him, of high appreciation for his noble deeds, was a gold-headed cane, inscribed with the words which he uttered as he gave orders for his steamer to hasten to the burning vessel, ' I w i l l give a l l I possess to save one human l i fe: A sentiment worthy to hand his name, with honor to those who bear it, down to the latest posterity'.'"
Captain Quarrier was one of the most popular commanders of vessels on the western and southern waters. Contracting a complication of fatal diseases, incident to a southern climate, in the summer of 1S56 he visited a summer resort in his native Slate, with the hope he might recover his health, but, with all that could be done for him proving unsuccessful, he died at the Blue Sulphur Springs, in Greenbrier County, the 14th August, 1856.
Monroe was a Knight Templar in Masonry, and had taken the 33d degree, Scottish rite. A marble monument was placed at his grave by the members of his Commandery, with the emblems of Masonry and of the Orders. His remains repose in Spring Hill cemetery, Charleston.
James Young Quarrier was also a Deputy Sheriff of Kanawha, and acted as such for several years. He was thoroughly acquainted with the people of his county, aud was popular with all of them. He was afterwards the clerk, salesman and book-keeper of his brother-in-law, Mr. Aaron Whitteker, the popular merchant of Charleston for half a century. After a service with Mr. Whitteker of many years, he, together with his brother Archibald, were partners in merchandising in Charleston. They continued in this business some years when, Archibald leaving Charleston for a residence at llavenswood, on the Ohio river, the partnership dissolved. James was an active business man all his life. At about the close of the war, in 1865, he moved with his family to Culpepper, Virginia, where he had a daughter living. He survived this change but a short time, and died there shortly after his removal.

Of the daughters of this large family, it is sufficient to say, those who have passed over the river—some long years ago, others more recent-as well as the two who yet survive were all that can be said in their praise. The older sisters lost their mother at tender year's but m the brief period of the mother's life, who was a lady of refinement and culture, thev had an example, which, with the care of the father, laid the foundation for lives of virtue and usefulness, which characterized them in the protracted years of their existence: three of them having passed their four score years.

Quarrier. Our Uncle Archie was then a member and an active oftcer in the humane association, connected with Rev IV Craik's Church in Louisville, known as the '-Orphanage." A society formed there for reclaiming the destitute orphans and other poor children so numerous in all cities, and providing for their comfort and religious training. He immediately opened ?a correspondence with the . Glasgow Quarrier to find out how far he was connected with the American family and the extent of the name in Scotland, giving him the history ol his father, &c , &c He received letters in reply, and it was developed that this Wm. Quarrier was engaged in the same philanthropic employment of clothing and feeding and otherwise caring for the homeless friendless wails ol his native city, and had reclaimed frtmi the gutters and slums many hundreds of these destitute orphans, and every vear turned over those who were old enough and capable ot entering the world as useful citizens of the State and county of their birth
Obtaining the address of Mr. Wilson, the friend of the late A. A. Quarrier, 1 corresponded with him fomhe purpose of getting such information as he could give in relation to the Clasgojy Quarrier. He kindly gives me a reply, and writes as follows respecting him :
"KANSAS. CITY, Mo., October 9th, 1889. " A L E X . T. LAIDLEY, ESQ., Charleston, W. Va., *
"Dear Sir— The Mr. Quarrier you refer to is William Quarrier, of Glasgow, Scotland, who to-day is as well known in my country, as a philanthropist, as the late Peabody was in America, if an a smaller scale. He is by trade a shoemaker, and, if 1 mistake not, is engaged in that business yet, on an extensive scale. He is entirely a self-made man, having started in life under the hard taskmaster, 'poverty,' and it was the recollection of the buffet i ngs of his childhood days that prompted him, twenty-five years ago, to take an interest in the waifs of the great city of Glasgow, and try to do something to ameliorate their hard lives. With this end in view, he started the 'Shoeblack Brigade,' This proved a great success. Then he got some wealthy merchants in the west of Scotland interested in his. philanthropic efforts, and from the small beginning of the 'Shoeblack Brigade,' he has built up one of the greatest and grandest institutions in the world, in the shape of the 'West of Scotland Orphan Homes.' He has, or had, two institutions in Glasgow, one in the old Dumbreck homestead, on the London road, the other in Morrison Street, in the heart of the city. Then at Bridge of Weir he has the headquarters of his enterprise. There in a beautiful domain almost, you might call it, he has been enabled (through the charity of some of the wealthy merchant princes of Scotland) to erect a number of beautiful cottage homes, with a large central home, where the children are taught almost every trade known—each the trade he or she shows an' aptitude for. The children are taken into these homes at all ages, (from infancy, almost, until 8 or 10 years of age,) fed, clothed, educated, taught a trade and given a start in life at about 14. He has a branch institution in Canada, and every year a number of little ones are shipped out there and homes found them in different parts of the Dominion.
" Mr. Quarrier is doing in Scotland what the great Dr. Barnardo is doing in London, ánd both institutions only require to be visited to see and appreciate the almost incalculable good which has been done and is being done to reclaim the little waifs of these great cities.
" I f I mistake not, Mr. Quarrier was also instrumental in having the government place on the Clyde their 'Training Ship,' where annually a number of boys are sent and educated as

It may be thought superfluous, considering that the appendix will contain an obituary notice, published on the death of MRS. CAROLINE QUARRIER, the beloved wife of A W Quarrier, to give any additional memoir. But as one of the iamilv, brough into t by her marriage with the eldest of the six brothers, it occurs to me to bring'her prom nent y to the notice of every descendant in the family, to the latest generation. And to do so nothing more need be said than s told in the article referred to. I cannot withhold an e C n of my enure approval of the sentiments contained in that notice. It was wri ten by a

To commemorate her excellency of character as a "soldier of the cross," her exalted virtues and all the graces of a true woman, the devoted love, a tender recollection of the many qualities that adorned her useful life, her children have placed in the First Presbyterian Church, lately built in Charleston, a memorial window of stained glass. Happy should the numerous descendants of this estimable lady be to have had such an ancestress In the touching and beautiful tribute the author of her obituary gives at the close of the article •her children have lost their mother," nothing more need be said. No memorial is needed
to remind them of their loss, lor a recollection of her is deeply enshrined upon their hearts.
MRS. ELIZABETH A. QUARRIER was the young wife of Capt. Monroe Quarrier, who died in less than two years after their marriage. She is said to have been a lady of great worth and very accomplished. Little is known of her by any now living. She was a niece of the late#Capt. James Wilson, an old resident of Charleston, who was once the owner of part of the farm upon which the upper portion of Charleston is built, and who, by inter-marriage, was connected with the elder members of the Shrewsbury family in Kanawha. She died over half a century ago, deeply mourned by her husband and friends, leaving no issue.
The lamented demise of MRS. LETITIA B. QUARRIER, wife of James Y. Quarrier, occurred some ten years ago. She had survived her husband fifteen years, leaving'sons and daughters, all of whom had married. Our Aunt Letitia was the devoted and beloved daughter of the late Dr. Samuel Chilton, who. with a large family, settled in Charleston about the year 1824-5, from Fauquier County, Va., and practiced his profession as an accomplished physician for some years. This family were Episcopalians, and contributed largely in aid of establishing the Church in Charleston. She was an exemplary christian woman, beloved and honored by her husband's family connections, and esteemed by all who knew her. Her life was devoted to Iter children, and in all her walks through life commanded the love
This work, now completed, is not given to my co-descendants from any feelings ol
vanity or family pride, but a simple record of events as any individual member of a family
would make in his Bible. The number of children of our common ancestor was large—unusually large—and all,
or nearly all, lived to an advanced age ; and some of them raised large families. Thus it was in the course of a few years the family became a host and so numerous, and scattered abroad over the country, that more than half knew nothing of the rest. Conceiving the idea that a genealogy would be acceptable to all, 1 undertook this, as much for my own pleasure and satisfaction to know to whom I was related, as that others of my kindred should be likewise informed.
Few, very few, of the succeeding generations after the second, knew anything of the antecedents of their forefathers—whether their origin was of foreign or American parentage. I t will be new to some when they shall have read the brief memoir of Col. Quarrier., written by himself, and never before made so public.
The few family histories I have met with, differ in form from this. Genealogical trees are sometimes made to perpetuate a family history, but with the numerous descendants in this, such a mode would not have answered for this work. The tabular form I have thought the best with a primogeniture column, showing by numbers the succession of birth, in their order. 'Brief biographical sketches follow, mostly written from personal knowledge of the individual whether a descendant or one that has come into the family by marriage. Other tables Of statistics are furnished, thought to be of interest to the family, and some matter that may not have been thought of by any.
An appendix follows of obituary notices of those who have departed this life; giving the
history as known to the author of them. A writer of one or more genealogies, one of which has come under my notice, expresses
himself thus of the work and labor in preparing them: " I used to think," he says, "the litany of the Church perfect." But since he has been so rash as to perpetuate pedigrees, he is inclined to believe that the litany would be improved by one more petition :
"From writing genealogies Deliver us."
This able divine found it a laborious and perplexing task, and all writers of them must agree with him. .
The venerable Doctor says, "Genealogies seem to be the outgrowth of an mst.net common to the human family ;" and adds, "that the oldest histories (from a high authority) are drawn upon a genealogical basis. The pedigrees preserved in the book of Genesis are the scaffolding to the temple of universal history, and the Bible, regarded as a whole, is a genealogical collection of surpassing interest and value."
AH Bible readers are familiar with its genealogies, and cannot fail to see what a labor it must have been to put them in shape for an intelligent and profitable understanding ol the revealed will of fehovah. , r ,
It wasat one time my purpose to have added a column in which to g.ve the professed religion of each one of the family, but as I could not give the information as to all, including L í who by intermarriage with the blood affinity, I abandoned the attempt. Enquiries

Mr Smith was an ofl.cer in a bank in Wheeling, where he once resided, and was subsequently the cashier of a bank in Parkersburg. He died there in 1867
These two sisters have been faithful laborers for their Master's cause in the Church militant for the most of their lives; we cannot doubt their entrance into the Church triumphant in Heaven at the last. «
In connection with this brief sketch of the lives of these worthy members of the family it will not be complete without a brief reference to others, who, by intermarriages became beloved members also. This branch of my memoirs refers to the widows of William, Gustavus and A. A. Quarrier, who are still in life, piously and devotedly attached to their respective duties as Christians, working for Christ and his Church, and the nurture and care of their large families, as mothers and grand-mothers.
MRS. MARY QUARRIER, of Wheeling, and IMRS. ELIZABETH QUARRIER, of Kanawha are sisters, daughters of the late Jesse Hudson, Esq., long since gathered to his fathers, a most respectable old Virginia farmer, who, with his father's family, at an early period of the for-, mation of the county, came west from the Valley of Virginia and settled near Coal's Mouth some ten miles below Charleston. He was for many years a magistrate of the county, and' one among that respectable class of Justices who held the courts of our counties, and reflected so much the honor of the judicial bench, in the economical administration of the municipal affairs of the county. These worthy ladies have raised large families of children, and are worthy of the name of Mothers in Israel. They are advancing in life, and will ére many more winters shall have passed, have fulfilled their destiny and passed on for 1 he reward awaiting them at the close of well spent lives, leaving many descendants to follow their holy example.
MRS. MARY H . QUARRIER, of Louisville, Ky., is the eldest surviving daughter of the late-Henry Fitzhugh, Esq., late of Ravenswood, W. Va., and died there many years ago. He too came to Kanawha from Virginia, at a later period. She is the mother of four children--one dying in infancy ; three survive—one daughter and two sons. She has resided in Kentucky some thirty-two years. The daughter married well, and the two sons are prominent railroad officials. Mrs. Q uarrier has been blessed in her children, for none stand higher in

In 105 years, there have been one hundred and forty-three deaths; rot idecades an average of fourteen deaths every ten years. But for the first two decades, before an increase in births, the deaths for any one year did not exceed two, and that for only two years of the twenty one From about the beginning of the third decade, the deaths were more numerous-except for four ot the years, there were but one in each. The greatest mortality seems to have been in 1882.
The blanks 111 the preceding Necrological Table, is an unavoidable omission. Some families kept no record; or i f one was opened in their Bibles, negligence and procrastination caused a failure to keep it up, and deaths of those from whose memory the information might have been obtained, occurring, makes it difficult to furnish a complete and accurate record.

d i P d t n Í f o n l W A S H I N G T O N QUARRIHB.-"Among the notable tuen who have lived and d ed in Kanawha county, none were better known, or more highly esteemed than lhe 1 t Alexander W. Quarner. He was born in the city of Richmond, Virgin a, on he ,6th day of November, , 7 9 5 and died in Charleston, Kanawha county, July ,6, 86 He was .the eldest son of Colonel Alexander Quarrier, who was born in Fifeshire Scotlandwin em.grated to America in ; 7 7 4 ; and resided some years in Philadelphia, n 783 emoved to Richmond ,n 1786, and lived there until ,811, in which year he camé
to Charleston, Kanawha county, and there died in 1827. For a number of years previous to his comtng, he was Captain of the Public Guard at Richmond, and was highly regarded by Mr. Jefferson, Chancellor Wythe and others of like distinguished character *
"His son, Alexander VV., the subject of this sketch, was appointed Clerk of the County Court of Kanawha county in 1822, and on the organization of the Circuit Superior Courts of Law and Chancery in 1830, in Virginia, he was made Clerk also of that Court for the same county. Both these offices he held continuously until ,861, wffim, refusing to take the oath required by an ordinance of the Wheeling Convention, they were declared vacant and Mr. Quarrier was deprived of both offices.
"Few men have lived who were more beloved, more entirely trusted, or more deeply regretted at death than Mr. Quarrier. The eldest son of a large family óf brothers and sisters, he was always regarded by them and their numerous descendants as their head and pride. He was always noted for his buoyant and cheerful spirits, his benevolent heart useful and active life, cultivated mind, and refined tastes, which not only made him, in 'some sense, the idol of his family, but the most popular and esteemed man in his county There was no stint to his open handed charity ; of what lie had, he gave freely j when he had not he cheered the needy with a true sympathy and an elevated hope,
" I n the discharge of his public duties he was honest, faithful, untiring,capable,exact and accommodating. To the humble and uninformed lie was always the trusted friend and adviser. To all he was kind and prodigal of trouble and labor in answering their requests and supplying their wants from his office. His ready.and accurate knowledge of all his official duties, astonishing memory of records and papers; his methodical and systematic business habits; his generous spirit of accommodation, and hearty, cheerful manner, rendered all business with him a pleasure; while his rich fund of anecdote and humor, and happy reminiscences of men, manneis, and things of by-gone days, endeared him to all as a beloved companion and most agreeable public officer. Long will the memory of his hearty laugh, good-humored and benevolent face, live among those who knew him.
"There is nothing eventful, in the sense of biographical literature, in Mr. Quarrier's life to record. The only offices ever asked for, or held by him, were those before mentioned. While he was always decided and ardent in his political opinions, he never sought political honors. His career in life, although marked by no distinguished event, nor remembered by any particular incident of public importance, was that of the quiet gentleman ; fulfilling all his duties, giving and bestowing pleasure to all about him, whether in the little gatherings on the streets, in the parlor, or at the hearth-stone, in his office, among the rich and

He was a member of the" Legislature at the time of the passage of the celebrated resolutions of 1708, taking ground in opposition to their adoption. James G. Laidley was educated for the bar in Petersburg Virginia, under the late Chancellor Wythe. Upon being admitted to the bar, he located in larkersburg, the county seat of the then new county of Wood, about the year 1802 Ikheid several offices connected with the courts of that county, and represented the county in the Legislature two successive years. When war was declared against Great Britain, June, 1812, he raised a volunteer company of riflemen, entered the army, and served in the Northwest under Generals Left wich and Harrison. He was brevetted to the rank of Major for distinguished services on the battle-field. It is related of him that when in command pf his company, in a sanguinary fight with a band of Indians, seeing his men under some fear he seized a rifle and shot one of the savages, who falling before him, so encouraged his

Major Laidley enjoyed, while in o icé at VYhcding, the reputation of being among the very best clerks in the Old Dominion

He did not rest his claims upon' any devot.on for or service to party, but simply his qualifications f i r the office, and being a citizen born and raised ,n the State. The Court saw proper to disregard claims ör fitness and. capacity, and bestowed the office upon a citizen from another State, who ha* but recently come to West Virginia He thought that, all other things being equal, and aT there was not nor could be any doubt as to his qualifications-for the office, preference should have been given to an old citizen ín the selection of an incumbent for the position But the Judges acted otherwise—and gave it to one who had done the most for uarty-a gentleman, however, of character and ability.

"Major Laidley has been twice married. By his first marriage, in Sept., 1 8 « , to Miss Blaine, a cousin of James G.Blaine, late Speaker of the House of Representatives he had one child the late Captain R. Q Laidley, who died in this city in February 1871 He has no children by his second marriage. His education was somewhat limited he never having attended school since he was twelve years old ; still he acquired a pretty ' thorough knowledge of the English language, by application in County and Circuit Court Clerks' offices His special torte is in an office of that kind, where he always excelled
"Major Laidley is now nearly three-score years and ten ; is in good health, and is quite active and vigorous tor a man of his years."
D. R. MCFARLAND, the second wife of A. T. Laidley, born in Charleston, December 10, 1824, married, July 15, 1846, is the daughter of the late Jas. C. McFarland, deceased She is grand daughter, on the maternal side, of the Rev. Calvin Chaddock, first stationed minister ot the Presbyterian Church in Charleston-aboutthe year 1819—and continued such until his death, in June, 1822. Dr. Chaddock -was an old minister of the Conijreua-tional Church in Massachusetts, and was the founder of academies and churches in that Slate in several localities.

a ^ " ^ ^ ^ many of the useful qualities of a public .gent, and often solicited him to become their representative in the Legislature l is domestic habits and characteristic modesty rendered him averse to the strifes of politic-life. He, however, finally yielded to the wishes of his friends, and occasionally served as a member of the House of Delegates. In this position, he mainly devoted himself to the internal improvement of the State by railroads and canals. He was the special friend of tne Baltimore and Ohio railroad, in its inception, under its first President, Philip Thomas and took the most active interest in the effort then made to procure the passage of that great work, on a line from Harper's Ferry, up the Valley of Virginia, and to terminate on the Ohio river, through the Valley of the Great Kanawha.
" 'When, in 1832, the Bank of Virginia decided to locate a Branch Bank at Charleston as if by common consent, Mr. McFarland was selected as the man, of all others amongst us, best suited to become its President. That officedie continued to hold by annual re-election, and without opposition, down to the time of his death, nearly one-third of a century How well he has managed the institution committed to his care, is attested, not only by his long continuance in office, by the voluntary action of the stockholders and directors, but also by the public fact, that during the period of his Presidency, down to the breaking out of the late war, this Branch had declared an average dividend offourteen per cent, per annum on the capital assigned to it. Good judgment and financial skill, coupled with scrupulous accuracy and fidelity, characterized his whole administration of the Bank.
have in some instances been made upon this question. I have only answered from my own
knowledge. It has been stated elsewhere that Colonel Quarrier had all of his children baptized in
the Church of England, and all of them who raised children, except in three instances, had their offspring so christened, with the exception of a few cases with those three families. And all of the thirteen children, survivors of the second generation, adhered to the Church of their fathers throughout their prolonged lives, except those three, who, late in life,departed from the old paths. Of the descendants of the third, fourth and fifth generations, I know of but three, who after baptism, confirmation and many years of partaking of the Holy Eucharist, had left the Church. Of these, one is long since gone to his account j one other has returned to the fold ; the other to the late adherence still; this is the most 'remarkable defection from duty I have ever known. It is a great satisfaction to me to know that a large majority of this numerous family are to day adherents of the church of their fathers. In other words, better understood perhaps, as the one only true and Holy Catholic Apostolic Church.
I f all men were convinced of the truth of the following article, and were thoughtful enough to accept it, it would not be long before there would be hosts of the same faith:
"Episcopacy vs. Presbyterianism—tizA Christ meant his Church to be Presbyterian, St. John would have known it, and so would his friends, the Bishops of Antioch and Smyrna, and their friend, the Bishop of Lyons, and the rest. Or, to reverse the process, the Church of the third century, which was nothing if not episcopal, must have known whether the Church of the second century was Episcopal or not; and the venerable bishops and teachers who were associated with St. John in the latter part of t h i r s t century, must have known whether or not the Church was Episcopal from the start. We have had their testimony. There is no break in the chain.
- lake the admission of Gibbon of all candid scholars that the Church was universally Episcopal at the close of the first century, How shall we account for it? Well, it either started so, or else, if it started Presbyterian, the early Presbyterians abandoned it so soon, so unanimously, so universally, as to show that Presbyterianism was regarded as a stupendous failure-so soon that the change was. made before the Apostles were cold in their graves, so unanimously that not a single presbyter or layman lifted his voice against the usurpation of those who made themselves bishops, so universally that not a single Presbyterian, nay, not one solitary isolated congregation, in the forests of Britain, in the mines of Spain, in the valleys of Gaul and Italy, on the deserts of Africa or the fertile banks of the Nile, on the islands of the Mediterranean, in the cities of Greece, on the sands o Arabia on the prairies of Babylon, in the jungles of India, or on the hallowed hills of Gal.leeand Judea-not one poor s ngl , solitarv Presbyterian congregation survived to witness against the Episcopal usuVpation, and say, like Job's messenger: <1, even I only, am escaped alone to tell thee. -Dom, Churchman"
Finally, after dedicating .he work to my co-descendantrto the latest posterity, I
earnestly and fervently pray that .here may be a whole family in Heaven. • ^

W M . A. QUAKKIEK. This able and distinguished member of the family, of the third generation, was the eldest son of the late A. W. Quarrier, deceased. In giving a memoir of his life, it cannot be better done than to reproduce; for this work, the following, from the papers of Charleston, written on the occasion of his death and funeral. Other tributes have been had and published, of the bars of the several courts in this and the adjoining counties, but too voluminous for this notice:
" Hon. IV. A. Quarrier Dead—He Passed Away aí /it's Home, Monday Afternoon, the 10th September, 1888, at 2:45 o'clock.
"Hon. W. A. Quarrier died at 2:45 0 1 1 Monday, in his 60th year. He was taken sick about 12 o'clock last Monday night, at Wheeling, after having partaken of a hearty supper about two hours earlier, and was only saved by the prompt arrival of physicians. lie improved somewhat, but was a very sick man when he arrived home last Saturday evening, and despite the efforts of his physicians, Drs. Cotton and Ewing, continued to grow worse.' Heart failure was the immediate cause of his death. His death created a profound shock in this community."
"In the death of Ho.n.W. A. Quarrier, not only this city, but the entire State loses one of its most prominent and useful citizens. His name has been identified with almost every enterprise connected with the welfare of this city, and in our legislative halls he was a conspicuous and honored figure. For many years he has been recognized as one of the leading lights of the West Virginia bar, and in his death the profession experiences a loss that will not soon be supplied. Talented, conscientious and unswerving in the discharge of his duty,

BEVERLY M. EOFF was the second son of Doctor Eoff, born in Wheeling, W Va He married Harriett L . Hoods, his cousin, second daughter of Robert C. Woods; and the father of eight children, six of whom survive. Three sons and two daughters are married Beverly had a talent for music ; and receiving a good classical education, studied law and was admitted to the bar ; was at fust inclined to enter the ministry of the Episcopal Chun I. but abandoned this, as well as the practice of law, for a more active and lucrative business' His father-indaw dying in i S S i , and his own father a few years later, both leaving large estates, and neither having a member of their families so well qualified to adjust and settle their worldly affairs, so that the children should share equally their father's property and there being minor heirs of both families, Beverly undertook the management of both estates. His legal attainments enabled him to accomplish a settlement to the satisfaction it is related, of his co-heirs, and both estates were wound up without the usual difficulties attend ing large possessions, as these were. He was equal to the task, but it was a strain upon his mental and physical faculties. He died, probably from an overtaxed system, about three years ago, deeply lamented by his family and many friends. Doctor Eoff's family of ten children, are rapidly passing away—one son and.four daughters only survive.

RODERICK S MOODEY This gentleman married Virginia, the third daughter of Doctor and Mrs. Helen S. Eoff. He was the father of ten children, who, together with their mother still survive. '
Mr. Moodey had distinguished himself as a lawyer of the Steubenville, Ohio bar Where there were so many shining and brilliant lights in the legal profession, and á successful lawyer in the higher courts of his native State. He was cut down in the very prime of life and of his usefulness to his large family* Had he been spared he might have risen to á high eminence as a lawyer.
During the years of my acquaintance with him, and with many of the leading members of the bar in the counties bordering on the Ohio river, near Wheeling, such as Belrnont Harrison, Jefferson, & c , it was related to me by his associates, that this bright young lawyer was destined to become one of the most distinguished of Ohio's ablest lawyers. He was already, young as he was, the compeer of such legal lights as Marsh, Tappan, Jewi tt, Stokely Peck, Shannon, and others. This was the testimony in Mr. Moodey's favor, of two or moré of these his associates before the Supreme, and some of the inferior courts of Ohio. This is no meaningless panegyriek of the dead. I had an intimate acquaintance with my kinsman, Mr. Moodey, and opportunities of knowing his standing with the lawyers 1 haye named .

Several works of authors giving histories of the Huguenots, allude to this family: and the writings of the late Bishop Meade; heretofore referred to in these memoirs, spea /óf the family in connection with the Church in Virginia for the last century and a half. The Fon-taines and the Maurys, and other well known persons and families of the highest respectability in the Virginias, and elsewhere in this country, are connected.
Major Fontaine, then scarcely having attained his majority in age, entered the Confederate Army, in the late war between the States, and for a time was a staff-officer under General Wickham, with the rank of Major in the army of northern Virginia. Upon that distinguished officer retiring lrom the army, to take a seat in the Confederate Congress he served in the same capacity, under General Rosser, then in command of abrigade in the same army. He continued in service during the war.
Following the example of his distinguished relatives, the Major is a communicant in the Church of his forefathers.

It is published in these memoirs for the information of those of the late descendants who did not know Mr. Smith, (like many others, whose sketches of biography are given ) His own family have it all in an other work, and to give the entire book would increase unnecessarily, the bulk of this, and be thought superfluous: —

His daughter, Miss Josephine A. McCabe, a most lovely character, and one of the most beautiful girls of her time, and still, at over 50 years of age, retains her loveliness, married Alexander Q. Woods, only son of Robert C. and Margaret A. Woods. Her husband died leaving his widow and three daughters, who stilt survive him; one of whom is married as shown in the table, with whom the rest reside, living in Baltimore.
Robert A. McCabe married Margaretta C. Woods, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs ' Woods, the parents of three daughters and one son.
Daniel Trigg McCabe, another son of the Rev. Doctor, married a grand daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Woods. There is a tripple alliance between these two families. The father Rev. Dr. McCabe, performed the nuptial ceremony of this daughter, who married A. Q ' Woods, according to the ritual of the Church, A. T. Laidley giving the bride away.
This is one of the five instances where I had officiated in that character. The first in the marriage of Miss Kate McCabe, an older daughter of Dr, McCabe, to Alexander'C Chapline, about the same time of the wedding of Miss Josephine. A little singular that both

During the war they sold out in Wheeling, and move,! to Baltimore, where they did « large and prosperous business, and accumulating a fortune at about the close of the war thev wound up their business and moved to the Valley of Virginia, invested in some lands in Montgomery county, and hoped, by a change of climate, they could live more comfortably and happily than in a city. After a residence of a year or two in Virgini ,, they wen. lu California, seeking a more genial climate, invested in property there. Their children -row ing up the boys undertook to manage somewhat for themselves, hour of the SOPS of Henrv married and settled on the property in Virginia, and are still carrying on the business of merchandising in Christiansburg and in Giles county. One or more of the sons of Willi on live in Columbus, Ohio. The eldest of Henry's sons is a lawyer, living in North Dako a now, but was formerly a Probate Judge in Minnesota. The father resides at Santa P, irbiiri Cal., where he is engaged in merchandising and other pursuits. William resides wit'h'á married daughter in Columbus. They are brothers of the late Drury 1 Tallant who accu' mulated a vast fortune in the banking business in San Francisco, Cal and died there a few years ago, worth several millions.
The children of these two boys, (young men when first known to me ) are residents of several of the States of the Union, and all worthy.
The fathers were brought up in the Church of England, and adhered to its worship in their adopted country, zealously and liberally supporting it all their lives the children lul lowing in their footsteps. Both brothers had served as vestrymen in the Churches in Wheel ing, and one, if not both, had served as delegates to Church councils and convocations.

David Fullerton, (Fullarton in Scotland,) the lather of the subject of this sketch was 1 representative in Congress from Pennsylvania, and lor his vote in favor of the Missouri con. promise, was burnt in effigy by the opposition. He resigned his seat, and was afterwards elected to the State Senate and served twelve years.
An ancestor of the name is said to have been presented, by William of Orange with a cavalry sabre, for gallantry at the battle of the Boyne. Humphrey Fullerton, the".grand-father of William, was a very large man—6 feet five inches tall, and weighed 438 pounds
The family of Scotland was very ancient and distinguished. An ancestor came from England with the king, and was given estates in Ayershire, where there is yet remaining an old manor house, called "Fullarton Castle."
Mr. Fullerton formerly resided in Louisville, and went to California, engaging in mining. He died there in 1887, leaving his widow and live children, four 'of whom bear the name of Quarrier, an instance of gratitude and filial respect and affection, sadly contrasting with some in the family, who have as many, and others with more than three times the number of descendants, where the name does not appear at all.

RICHARD Q. LAIDLEY, the only son of A. T. Laidley, born at Wheeling, June 2, 1836, (bed February 12, 1873. His mother was Dorcas S. Blaine, the daughter of David Hoge' Blame, a sou of Col. Alexander Blaine, formei ly of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, but more recently of Washington, 111 the same State. Both have been dead many years.
Richard was raised and educated for,'"a druggist, but at the age ot 18, after reading medicine with the late Dr. Wheeler, in Wheeling", entered a Medical College in Louisville, Ky. , and became a student of medicine and surgery. He remained one session of that Institution. He then settled in Charleston and commenced the practice of medicine, intending alter a year to return to that or some other College, and finish his course; but in the meantime he concluded to read law, and after studying in that profession under the instruction ot his relative, the late W. A. Quarrier, applied for and obtained license to practice law. He thus engaged in both professions, and followed them until the breaking out of the civil war, when he entered the Confederate Army as a private in the old Kanawna Riflemen, of which he afterwards became Captain and served during the war.
The ancestry of Captain Laidley on his mother's side is very remote, and is given in a sketch previously published in this work, at page 28.
As a further notice of him, for the information and benefit of his descendants, the following, from papers printed at the time of his death, are inserted :

Close the shutters and draw the curtains, For our hearts are sad to-night;
We little dreamed, alas! bow soon Our hopes would see their blight.
The. Ange l of Death, in his dark array, Carne wi th his mission to-day;
A n d oh! ere we knew what that'mission was Bore our prize awav.
Tear fu l ly we look on days that were gone, T h a t thr i l led our hearts o f yore,-
A n d we live again, in those davs fair and bright Hut now gone, torever more.
Gone, but eaeli room, each spot recalls one, A n d the Past seems fairy brightness again•
But we turn, and lo! like the morning dew, ' He is gone, and the truth only is real.
There silent lies a noble heart, Beating, it sent life-blood (lowing,
A n d its last throbbing, shaped the words— Softly—"I am going."
May we but feel that it is wrong To murmur at our loss;
For Thou hast said that all Thou lovest Shall learn to bear the cross.
Oh, Thou! w ho once in pity wept • For those in woe or dread,
Comfort us with T h y blessed words. " I t is i , be not afraid."

In 1884 while
teaching m Wheeling; she was led to the study of social science by reading the Works of Professor Ely. following is a copy of the letter written by Mr. Edward Bellamy, autho of
Looking Backwards,'' to Dr. Ely: " I wish to thank you for calling my attention some time ago to 'Metzerott, Shoemaker.' I have read it with great interest, and have done 11 in my power to commend it to my fellow-nationalists, not only as a most admirable production, but as being highly valuable for our educational propaganda. I find that all who have read it speak of it in high terms as written in the power and unction of the spirit of humanity, which 1 imagine comes pretty near being what is meant by the Holy Ghost. I should be much gratified if you would express to the author my admiration for her work Why does she not disclose herself? I am sure she would find a very pretty reputation awaiting her.' "
D. C. GALLAHER. This prominent member of the family married, July 27 1876 our young, attractive and exceedingly handsome little relative, Miss Florence W. Miller eldest daughter of Hon. S. A. Miller and Mrs. Helen Q. Miller, of Charleston. She is one of the many amiable grand daughters of the late Alexander W. Quarrier, deceased, so well known 111 his family to the older members.
Mr. Gallaher located in Charleston in 1872, and soon became identified with the public men in this county, as a good lawyer, a discreet and judicial manager in politics, and occupying positions 111 State and county governments, discharging the duties to which he was appointed, with fidelity and faithfulness. He was born in Virginia, August 2 1845 At .the age of 17 he went into the 1st Virginia Cavalry, Confederate Army, and served during the war, in the late conflict between the States. He received his education (by no means a limited one) at Washington College, Virginia, the universities of his native State, and of Berlin and Munich—fitting him for any position to which he might be called to fill. He closed his studies at the Law School, University of Virginia. He is in full practice of the law, in partnership with Mr. Miller, at the bars of the several State courts, and United States Circuit and District Courts, held in Charleston, and a master in Chancery for these several courts, besides holding the responsible position as a Regent ofthe West Virginia University.
HISTORY OF THE QUARK Ii
He is at present interested in the enterprise recently inaugurated for the improvement and enlargement of the city of Lynchburg, Virginia, In which he is a stockholder and an officer and director. He divides his time between the two cities of the two Virginias, claiming however, his residence m Charleston, giving attention to his business in both. His family is with him in Lynchburg, but the residence there is only temporary. It may be, however , hat he will take a permanent residence in Virginia, depending upon the success of the en
terprise upon which he has embarked.

FREDERICK ALEXANDER LAIDLEY. The eldest of the ten children of James M Laidlev so named or his maternal grandfather, the late F. G. L. Beuhring, deceased, and his father's brother, Alexander 1 his thorough business man, by his energy, activity, a life of industry and economical habits, has accumulated considerable wealth.
At the breaking out of the war, when his father voluntarily exiled himself beyond the federal lines into Virginia, to escape possible arrest for some contraband offence, this enterprising young man, at the age of twenty, took charge of his mother and her young family of children, and the management of his farm and salt manufactory, lie supported them by his control and prudent management of his father's affairs during an absence of three years At the close ol the war and the return of his father, he engaged in other pursuits clerking on a steamboat, and succeeding to the command as Master, which he followed for a time' Marrying a Miss Rooke, of Maiden, he gave up the river trade and went into business and commercial pursuits in Cincinnati, and by steady attention has amassed a wealth, which he is likely to retain for an increasing family and his old age. Fred is about the only Laidley in many of the name, who, by a judicious management, has laid up in store for a day ol want beyond a mere competency. Four of his six children survive.

HARRV BROOKS SMITH, third son of the late Isaac N. Smith, deceased, is a graduate of Washington and Lee University, and of the University of Virginia, at Charlottesville, from the Law School of that celebrated institution.
Mr. Smith is quite young; in his 23d year. Has been admitted to practice law in the several courts ofthe State, and is pursuing his profession with promise of a successful career I f he takes after his father, and grandfather, the late Col. B. H. Smith, and his uncle, the late VV. A. Quarrier, in legal learning, he is likely to make his mark as a lawyer.
He is a prominent member of one of the Presbyterian churches in Charleston, holding the responsible office of deacon. He is an accomplished musician, and is organist of his Church, by no means an unimportant position in these latter days of a successful progress in a devout and proper worship of the sanctuary. He inherits his musical tastes, genius and talent, from both families of his parentage.
Is A AC NOYES RAND. Major Rand married Annie, a daughter of Major John E. Norvell. They are now residents of El Paso, Texas.
He is a descendant of an old family of New England. His grandfather came to Kanawha in the earlier years of the present century, from Rutland, in Vermont—though born in Massachusetts—July 15, 1776. There is a Coat of Arms of the family of ancient date, in the possession of a descendant in Charleston. The name is common in some of the New England States; many prominent men in various pursuits of business, commerce, manufacturing, &c.
The father of "Plus," (so named in his. infancy, and by which he is better known here at home than by any other,) was the late Wm. J. Rand, born January 19, 1809, a prominent salt manufacturer at one time, and later engaged in merchandizing and banking, at the time of his death, twenty years ago. He married a daughter of the late Isaac Noyes. The subject of this sketch is the only son by that marriage; his mother and two sisters are still living.
He had just attained his age of 21 years at the breaking out of the civil war, and being a member of the old Kanawha Riflemen, a volunteer company raised in Charleston, was mustered into service on the 8th May, 1861, He was afterwards placed on the staff of General Echols, in command of abrigade, to which the 22d belonged, with the rank of Major.
At the close of the war Major Rand engaged in divers branches of business. Some ten or twelve years ago he was employed by an eastern company of capitalists, and together

Miss M I N N I E E. GILCHRIST. The few sketches of biography given in this work, of the living and the dead, is not for any motive or design to flatter or extol in any degree beyond the real merits ol the subjects of them. Where there is a positive merit, there is no possible harm done to give the truth.
Miss Gilchrist has shown a genuine taste for the art she has chosen to practice, and no one who has ever seen or had an acquaintance with the late Wm. A. Quarrier, whose sudden death was so deeply mourned two years ago, would fail to admire the crayon picture painted recently, of Mr. Quarrier, by this young lady, as a work of exceeding perfection and' beauty. The portrait is for the widow, and is now in her possession.
It is but justice to Miss Minnie, that this notice of her genius and talent should be-thus mentioned for the benefit and information of her kindred.
JOEL H. RUFFNER —Mr. Ruffner is a descendant of the elder Joseph Ruffner, one of the early settlers of Kanawha, towards the close of the eighteenth century, from whom the name in Kanawha sprung. At an early period he came to the Kanawha Valley from the

She had no ears of death, but ,n the earlier days of her sickness, prayed that her life might be prolonged for the sake of her husband and two little children, to whom she was devote'uy attached. As the day of her dissolution approached, she spoke of it as though she was about to take an earthly journey, gave directions for her funeral, and specified all that she wished done in her burial. She requested the Rev. Dr. Craik, of Louisville, the early friend of her mother, and under whose ministry in Kanawha the mother became a member of the Church 0 administer at her obsequies. Shortly previous to her death, she said : " I am passing awáv'
but am safe in the arms of Jesus." Blessed hope ! To loving friends and a devoted connection in many localities who knew this dear member of a large and widely extended family the event has produced profound sorrow and regret, and though we make no complaint of a just 1 roviderjce, yet it seems one of the acts of His wisdom hard to bear.
At so early an age, with her family ties and all that makes an earthly home a blessing it is sad to realize that she is no more ; but the blessed hope that she is safe in the arms of the Redeemer is our consolation, and as much as we and the many loving and cherished friends who have surrounded her for years miss her from the family circle and deplore her death, we can not mourn for her as for those who go from us without hope. May God comfort the bereaved hearts thus afflicted by this dispensation. L

f m r r i t e r l i n ^ g o ï r ^ ^ ^ ^ <° ^ a ' c o m u ^ Ï Ï When quite young, she ratified the vows of her baptism, was confirmed in Christ
Church Alexandria, by Bishop Moore, in May, 1814, and thus publicly profcSed he• faUh n the Lord Jesu, Christ. She then gave her heart to God, and thence ^nwardlo the day
ot her death, religion was the governing principal of her life. To the Protestant Episcopal Church she ever maintained a warm, zealous and intelligent attachment. She believed it to be a true and living branch of the holy Catholic Church, -built upon the foundation óf the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone " Therefore she clung to it with a firmness that nothing could shake, and labored for its advancement with a zeal.and ardor that no adversity or discouragement could overcome.
To her the young diocese of West Virginia owes much of its present welfare and prosperity; and to her and her family, the congregations in Charleston and Ravens wood will admit their indebtedness for much of the standing and usefulness which they at present enjoy, but her piety was chiefly conspicuous in its effects upon herself individually moulding as it did, her character into the divine image, and bringing every thought and' desire in subjection to God s will. The writer of this tribute saw her in the dark night of afflic tion when bending in sorrow and tears over the graves of loved ones, dearer to her than life-yet there was no murmuring, but pious resignation to her Heavenly Father's will Years of pain and suffering became her portion; still she was patient in tribulation, and endured as seeing Him who is invisible.
