  Livingstone, Thomas, was born on September 18, 1870, at Petersburg, 
N.Y. He was converted at twelve years of age, from which time he 
believed he was called to preach. He worked on the farm until he could 
no longer withhold himself from the ministry. The winter he was 
nineteen he entered Drury Academy, at North Adams, Mass. On leaving 
this school he entered the New England Conference Seminary, at 
Wilbraham, Mass. After graduating from this school he took special 
studies in Andover Theological Seminary. During his course of studies 
he worked his way, maintaining his family at the same time.
  He was first licensed as a local preacher in 1896. During the last 
two years he was at Wilbraham, and while in Andover, he was a regular 
supply in the New England Conference.
  He joined this Conference in 1901, and has been at Barton during 
1901-02. In 1903 he was left without an appointment to attend school.
