  WESTON, JONATHAN H., was born in Vestal, N.Y., on May 25, 1835, and 
died in Vestal on September 26, 1899.
  His conversion occurred in 1862, and in the following year he 
received his local preacher's license from the Montrose Quarterly 
Conference.  In 1865 he joined Wyoming Conference.
  On March 25, 1855, he married Miss Elizabeth Serruja Pattison, of 
Owego, N.Y., who died in Kirkwood, N.Y., on July 14, 1884.  His second 
marriage was to Miss Clara M. Courtright, of Meshoppen, Pa., on 
September 28, 1885, who with two daughters, Ella Apphia and Rose 
Marlene, survives him.
  About one year and a half before he died he suffered from a paralytic 
stroke, which terminated his active work in the ministry.  After 
superannuation he settled in Vestal, opened a jewelry store, and seemed 
quite like himself, and thought the prospect good for several years of 
life.  A second shock terminated his life within four days after he 
received it.  He was buried in Vestal.
  His ministry was accompanied by revivals on almost every charge he 
served.
  His appointments were as follows:  1865-67, Auburn; 1868-70, 
Mehoopany; 1871-73, Meshoppen; 1874-76, Brooklyn; 1877-79, New Milford;
