  LEGG, JUDSON L., died at his father's home in Speedsville, N.Y., 
August 30, 1871, aged forty-three years.  He was led into Christ's 
kingdom at twenty-three years of age, under the labors of Rev. J. M. 
Grimes.  Some two years after his conversion he was married to Miss 
Sabra E. Clark, who proved a true helpmeet.  Subsequently he engaged in 
mercantile business.  Up to about 1859 his religious life was not 
pronounced, rather indifferent.  At this time a deeper work of grace 
brought liberty and new duties.  He abandoned business, and at once 
sought to retrieve lost opportunities by study.  He, with his wife, 
went to Cazenovia Seminary, where he spent some time most diligently 
pursuing such studies as would prepare him for the ministry.  In 1861 
he joined Wyoming Conference, and was stationed at Speedsville, N.Y., 
his former home.
  In 1868, shortly after he had successfully begun his work at 
Montrose, he was compelled to relinquish it.  After a few months of 
residence in Montrose, after resigning from the pastorate, he moved to 
Speedsville and patiently awaited the culmination of his pulmonary 
disease.
  His appointments were as follows:  1861, Speedsville; 1862-63, 
Windham; 1864-65, Sterlingville; 1866-67, Tunkhannock; 1868, Montrose; 
1869, sd.
  His wife preceded him to the heavenly country about one year.
