Rev. E. L. Langley.

	A native of Gwinnett county is the Rev. E. L. Langley, of Snellville. 
He was born near Grayson, May 10, 1849, and what education he received was in 
a little log cabin on the farm of Merit Camp, where for a few days he attended 
the school taught by James McElroy.

	He was converted and joined the church at Chestnut Grove in the summer 
of 1876. In 1881, he was licensed to preach and ordained to the mininstry. May 
28, 1882. He served the Snellville church seven years; Mt. Zion eight years; 
Bay Creek three years; Chestnut Grove four years; Mt. Vernon nine years; Zion 
three years; River Dale two years; Pleasant Hill ten years; Alcova three 
years; Old Field two years; Mt. Tabor two years.

	He has baptized nearly eleven hundred people into the several churches 
served, married one hundred and eighty seven couples, preached three hundred 
or more funerals, assisted in the organization of three churches, and served 
at the ordination of five ministers and twelve deacons.

	He has served churches for twenty-nine years, and for all his labor 
during this long period, he received only $2,000 from all sources including 
salary. He accepted the pastorate of churches without a financial 
consideration, leaving it to the churches to pay as much as seemed best.

	On account of his health and that of his wife, he does not now accept 
the care of churches.
