Rev. JOHN TILLETT, 1812-1890:
REV. JOHN TILLETT
Rev. John Tillett, son of Isaac and Anna Tatum Tillett, was born near Shiloh, Camden County, N.C., Nov. 23, 1812. His father died when he was quite young. He was prepared for college in Elizabeth City by an Episcopal clergyman, Rev. Mr. Buxton, father of Judge Buxton, of Fayetteville, N.C. When about sixteen years of age he heard a Methodist preacher for the first time — the Rev. George Bain. Through his influence, joined with that of Rev. Wm. Elliott, a useful local preacher, he entered the first Freshman class at Randolph-Macon College in August, 1833. It was his purpose when he entered college to study law, but after he was converted and joined the Methodist Church in 1834, under the ministry of Rev. W. B. Rowzie, he felt divinely called to preach the gospel, and was licensed, under Rev. Lewis Skidmore in 1836. He graduated in 1837. He taught school ten months in Clemmonsville, and six months at Mocksville, N.C.
He was admitted into the North Carolina Conference at Salisbury, Jan. 30, 1839. Ordained deacon by Bishop Thomas A. Morris, at Mocksville, Dec. 27, 1840; elder, by Bishop B. Waugh, at Louisburg, Oct. 26, 1842. The following were his appointments: 1839, Iredell Circuit; 1840, Tarboro Circuit; 1841, Beaufort Circuit; 1842, Tarboro Circuit; 1843, Smithfield Circuit; 1844-5, Granville Circuit; 1846, Halifax Circuit, Va.; 1847-8, Iredell Circuit; 1849-50, Mocksville Circuit; 1851-2, Davidson Circuit; 1853-4, Smithfield Circuit; 1855-6, Danville District, Va. (which was then in the North Carolina Conference); 1857-8, Ridgeway Circuit; 1859-60, Pittsboro Circuit; 1861-2, Rockingham Circuit; 1863-4, Person Circuit; 1865-6, Iredell Circuit; 1867-8-9, Granville Circuit; 1870-l, Durham Circuit; 1872-3, Robeson Circuit; 1874-5, Yanceyville Circuit; 1876, Pittsboro Circuit; 1877- 8, Carthage Circuit; 1879-80, Bladen Circuit; 1881-2-3-4, Alamance Circuit; 1885-6, Pleasant Garden Circuit.; 1887-90, inclusive on the superannuated list.
During his active ministry, beginning with January, 1839, and closing with November, 1885, he attended every session of the North Carolina Annual Conference. On the fourth Sabbath in November, 1885, he preached two memorable sermons, which closed his pulpit ministrations. That night he was taken violently ill of acute bronchitis. Typhoid fever soon set in, which left him prostrated and a great sufferer until July 17, 1890, when he sweetly fell asleep in Jesus.
In 1886 he moved to Thomasville, where he lived until the death of his wife in April, 1889. For one year thereafter he lived with his daughter, Mrs. T. J. Allison, her husband being the Presbyterian minister at Elmwood, Iredell County, N.C.
Last April he moved to the home of his son, Charlie W. Tillett, in Charlotte, where he died in the presence of three of his sons, Wilbur, Charlie, and Augustus, the last of whom had not seen him for ten years. His sufferings through nearly five years had been of the most intense character. His poor body shrank from the returning paroxysms of pain, and the desire to get out of body was often expressed; yet he was Christianly patient; at no time did he express a desire for any thing unless God should be glorified by it. His peace was as a river; his conscious acceptance with God through Jesus Christ, and his joyful hope of heaven, constituted his normal condition for several years. Dr. W. F. Tillett, who was with him for two weeks before his death, writes: "Never did any one long for and welcome death more eagerly than he. The future was as bright and clear to him as the noonday sun. Death had not a single fear to him." The last passage of scripture he was known to quote (and that to himself when he thought no one was near) was, "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good-will to men." The voices of the holy ones of heaven and earth blend in noblest notes of praise to God. Through grace he was completely ready, and has entered heaven, and with dear ones gone before he will ever give glory to God in the highest.
He was buried in Charlotte, N.C., the funeral ceremonies being conducted by Rev. P. J. Carraway, Presiding Elder of Charlotte District, assisted by Rev. S. Pool and the Rev. W. C. Gannon.
Oct. 6, 1841, he married Miss Elizabeth Wyche, daughter of James Wyche, Esq. (first President of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad), and sister of Rev. Ira T. Wyche, by whom he had nine children-two dying in infancy, one in youth and one (Miss. Laura Elizabeth) in riper years, in 1880. She was a woman of strong intellect, a very successful teacher in the town of Rockingham, and an active worker in the Church of Christ. Her memory is precious. The surviving children are: James W. Tillett, of Person County; "Nettie," now Mrs. T. J. Allison; Rev. Wilbur F. Tillett, D.D., Dean of the Theological Faculty and Professor of Systematic Theology at Vanderbilt University; Charles W. Tillett, of the Charlotte bar, and Henry Augustus Tillett, a lawyer of Abilene Texas. His wife died in 1862. In the latter part of 1863 he was married again to Mrs. Louisa G. Speed, who died April 5, 1889, at Thomasville. True and noble women they were. "Each was faithful to the obligations inhering in the relation she sustained to husband, the children in that home, and to the Church of God. He who knows all can alone determine how far the successful ministry of the husband, the true nobility, and the present and prospective usefulness of the children have resulted from their quiet, beautiful, Christian lives. God will reward them. He was greatly blessed in his children, who have ever honored him, and through the years of suffering have delighted to contribute in every way possible to his comfort.
"When the Rev. John Tillett died the earthly career of a most remarkable, strong, successful Methodist preacher was closed."

Rev. R. H. READ, 1814-1890:
REV. R. H. READ.
It is a sad, yet pleasing task to me to chronicle the life-work of my dear friend and co-laborer, Rev. R. H. Read. In 1843 we were received together on trial in the traveling Connection in the Mississippi Annual Conference held at Woodville, Miss. Out of thirteen young men in our class there remain now but myself and one other, and it is but fitting that I should be permitted to pay this last tribute of love to the memory of one to whom I was so greatly endeared by long association in the vineyard of the Lord. He was abundant in labors, a genial companion, and a devout Christian. His work is done and he has gone to his reward.
Brother Read was born in Baltimore, Md., in 1814; joined the Mississippi Conference in 1843 at Woodville, Miss., prior to its division into the Louisiana and Mississippi Conferences. In 1844 he served Vidalia Circuit, La., Natchez District; 1845, Wilkinson Circuit., Miss.; 1846, he was stationed at Opelousas, La.; 1847, he served Chicot Circuit, La.; 1848, he was agent of Centenary College; in 1849 and 1850 he was stationed at Shreveport, La.; in 1854 he served Caddo Circuit; in 1852 and 1853, Franklin and Pattersonville Circuit. At the close of 1853 he was located at his own request, and till 1861, was engaged in the drug business in Pattersonville and New Orleans. So far, however, from his secular employment quenching his zeal for preaching the gospel to which he was called, it was his delight to preach almost every Sabbath during this period. So was he faithful to his vows. In 1861 he was elected to serve as chaplain in the Fifth Louisiana Regiment, which post he faithfully filled during the four years’ civil war. At its close he settled at Holly Springs, Miss. Though not connected with the Conference he preached whenever opportunity offered. This was his loved employ and he never declined to declare his divine message to the people, continuing his labors among them as a local preacher during 1866 and 1867. In 1868 he joined the Southern Illinois Conference, remaining three years at Bloomington and Jacksonville, where through his arduous labors, a church was built. In 1871, being advised to go farther south for the health of a beloved child, he was transferred by Bishop Kavanaugh to the Kentucky Conference, and sent to Middletown. In 1872 he was sent to Maysville, where he remained two years. During 1874 and 1875 he was stationed at Lexington. The health of his child still remaining delicate, he sought a still more southerly clime, requesting to be transferred to the North Texas Conference, and serving the Church at Paris during 1876. In 1877 and 1878 he was stationed at Sherman, and at the close of the latter year located. Declining age, and a prospect in the near future of being to do effective itinerant work, a large family and heavy expenses, induced him to take this step, and he settled in Paris, Tex., expecting to serve his Master as a local preacher whenever a way opened. Rest from constant labor recuperated his strength and he accepted a salaried position to preach for the Congregational Church in Paris, with the avowed understanding
that he was not to relinquish one iota of his belief in the doctrine of his own Church. For this step he may be censured by some, yet when all the circumstances are known, our censure would be palliated into sympathy. Brother Read maintained his integrity as a faithful preacher and a devout Christian to the day of his death, always adhering to the doctrines of the Methodist Church, within whose pale only was he content to die. He served the Congregational Church at Paris during 1880, 1881, and 1882. In 1883 he resigned his charge at Paris to serve the Congregational Church at Eureka Springs, Ark., where he did most noble work for three years, 1883, 1884, and 1885. Thence he was called to Little Rock, in which city he preached to the Congregational Church during 1886 and 1887. This closed his active ministerial work. His health, through long and arduous labor, having failed, he sought the healing mountain breezes of Eureka Springs; but the grand machinery was slowly yielding to the inevitable law of dissolution. His spirit, bright as in the days of his youth, made a heroic struggle to impart some of its own indomitable strength and energy to the body, but in vain. Finding no benefit he returned to Paris, and there among beloved friends he yielded to the stern decree: "Dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return." He died in great peace March 1, 1890. As he had been serving Congregational Churches for ten years, be expressed a wish just before his death to reunite with the Methodist Church, and die within its pale; thus distinctly averring his allegiance to his mother Church, and emphasizing the fact that be had been true as steel to her doctrines and principles, though with a broad generosity he had served in other pulpits.
His was an aggressive Christianity. He could not have made a martyred Stephen, but rather a soldier, like Paul, ready to go where duty called, fearless of all save the one manly fear of wrong-doing. His eloquence was of that soul-stirring quality that once echoed in the halls of Agrippa, and forced from those kingly lips the cry: "Almost thou persuaded me to be a Christian!" For forty-three years he served the Master; who shall say in what glorified kingdom he now rests, waking from pain and suffering to hear a voice tender with love, saying: "Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many."

JOHN BAXTER STEVENSON, 1821-1890:
REV. JOHN BAXTER STEVENSON.
Rev. John Baxter Stevenson, son of Rev. Elam and Mrs. Lydia Stevenson, was born in Giles County, Tenn., Dec. 17, 1821, and departed this life Sep. 6, 1890, in Roanoke, Ala. The religion of his paternal ancestry was Calvinistic Presbyterian; his maternal, Protestant Episcopal. His father was licensed to preach in the Methodist Church in 1813. Brother Stevenson was one of eleven children. Three of his brothers have been local preachers in the M. E. Church, South. His parents dedicated the children to God in baptism in their infancy. This family was a patriarchal church in which the paternal priest offered the morning and evening sacrifice, consisting of reading the Scriptures, singing a hymn of praise, and offering a devout prayer. These services were not so prolix as to weary the children, nor so short as to appear an irreverent form of devotion. Under the ministry of Rev. James McFerrin, presiding elder, Brother Stevenson formally united with the M. E. Church, in 1832. In 1834, after two sermons, one preached by Rev. J. B. McFerrin, the other by Rev. H. H. Brown, at Mount Pisgah Camp-ground, in Giles County, Tenn., he was genuinely converted. He held his membership at Bee Spring, Richland Circuit, Tennessee Conference, from 1832 until received on trial in this Conference in 1843. His first public prayers were offered around his father’s family altar. July 22, 1843, he was licensed to exhort by recommendation of his society. Sep. 2, 1843, he was licensed to preach by the Quarterly Conference of Richland Circuit, Rev. Thomas Madden, presiding elder. At the same time and place he was recommended to the Tennessee Annual Conference for admission into the traveling Connection, and was subsequently received on trial. His first appointment was Bellefont Circuit as junior preacher, Cornelius McGuire, preacher in charge. The second year was spent on Marshall Circuit, Rev. L. D. Howell, preacher in charge. This was an exceedingly pleasant and successful year, about two hundred having been added to the Church. At the close of this year he was admitted into full connection, and elected to deacon’s orders, but was not ordained until the following year, no Bishop being present. At the Conference in 1845 he was placed in charge of the Wartrace Circuit. This was also a year of great success. At the Conference of 1846 he was ordained deacon by Bishop Andrew, and appointed to Bedford Circuit, with J. C. Woodward, as junior preacher, About one hundred members were added to the Church, among them R. L. Fagan, who became a member of the Tennessee Conference. This closed his fourth year in the itinerancy, and he was elected to elder's orders and ordained by Bishop Paine. His next appointment was Hickory Creek Circuit. In 1848 he was appointed to Russell Valley Circuit; in 1849 to Bellefont Circuit. June 25, 1850, he was married to Miss Eleanor G Shriver, of Bedford County, Tenn. In 1850 he was appointed to Montgomery Circuit; in 1851 to Hickory Creek Circuit; in 1852, to Woodbury Circuit. During these past two years his wife had been an invalid, and he had boarded her at her father’s, working at manual labor, when not ministerially employed, for money to pay her board. In 1853 he was appointed to Wesley Circuit, the nearest appointment being twenty miles from his afflicted wife. In 1854 he was returned to Wesley Circuit, upon which he suffered during the year from acute tonsillitis. At the Conference of 1855 he was under the painful necessity of taking a supernumerary relation; which he held for five years in connection with Bedford Circuit. During all these years his throat caused him great trouble. During three years of the war he preached very little, owing to the Federal invasion. In 1863 he went with the Confederate army, until failing health drove him to North Carolina, the home of his ancestry. Here he labored successfully until April 30, 1865, when he returned to his wife in Middle Tennessee. On the morning of March 16, 1866, she peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. In 1866 he was appointed to Florence Station; and Oct 8, 1867, was married to Miss Sallie C. Munn, of Florence, Ala. In 1867 he was appointed presiding elder of Florence District, which he served efficiently for two years, when his throat trouble caused him to ask the Bishop for lighter work. In 1869 he was sent to Valley Station, where he staid four years. He was then sent to Florence District, which he served three years. He was then sent to Oxford and White Plains, which he served two years; then to LaFayette District, four years; Alexandria Circuit; one year; Birmingham Circuit, one year; Munford Circuit, three years; and Roanoke Circuit, which he was serving his third year. He was twice elected to the General Conference.
This is, in brief, the record of an active life, full of good words and works. It is impossible, in an article like this, to
(Page 41)
estimate the good he accomplished, or state the greatness of the man. Brother Stevenson was thoroughly converted; he never doubted it, nor did those who knew him. He was deeply in love with Jesus and his fellowmen. As a minister of the gospel he was able and fearless. He was a strong and scriptural preacher, with a healthy conscience, and possessed of undaunted courage. When he took a position, satisfied of its correctness, no man or army of men could drive him therefrom. He made n great many new sermons in his latter years, some of which were extraordinary — all were good. He was a friend of true education. He loved children and the young people. He was a man of prayer-one of Enoch's class —"he walked with God." He was a father to young ministers, and a true brother to older ones, loving preachers as well as any man I ever knew. He was my presiding elder when I was licensed to preach, September, 1869, and our love for each other can never die. Next to my father he took interest and confided in me. His last illness was very painful. He was never well after returning from Greensboro last Commencement. He craved to get well that he might continue to preach, but had "a desire to depart and be with Christ" if he could not get well enough to continue preaching.
The writer conducted his funeral service Sunday, Sep. 7, in the Grove at Roanoke Methodist Church, there not being room for on third of the audience inside the church. It was estimated that there were over one thousand people present. Remarks were also made by Rev. R. S. Snuggs, F. P. Randle, and Dr. Shaffer, pastor of the Baptist Church. Then we laid his body in Roanoke Cemetery to rest until it shall be reunited with the happy and Holy Spirit in heaven. The Lord bless the wife who had a model husband, and the four boys who had an affectionate father, to whom he left the legacy of a spotless life and stainless character. "Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?"
