In the midst of his years this wise, faithful and eminently useful servant of God and the Church was called from earth. He was born in Washington county, this state, February 1, 1861. He was educated at Greene Academy and Allegheny College. The latter institution conferred upon him both the classical degrees and the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. He began his ministry in the Pittsburg conference in 1888, serving with good report for almost thirty-one years. Among the charges to which he ministered were McKee's Rocks, Jefferson Avenue, Washington, Apollo and Indiana. At the close of a pastorate of seven years in Indiana he was appointed superintendent of the Blairsville District. He had come to the last quarter of his fifth year in the strenuous work of supervision when his health failed. The hope that he would recover strength after a period of rest which had been arranged for him was not realized -- God gave his beloved sleep. Doctor Cary was a thoughtful student, a good preacher, a judicious administrator, a wise counselor and a loyal friend. His integrity was unquestioned and fidelity was an outstanding feature of his character. His worth was recognized by his election to the general Conference in 1912. He was a member of the Publishing Committee of this paper for the quadrennium 1908-12. He was married in 1888 to Anna May, daughter of the Rev. J G Gogley, of the Pittsburgh conference, who with an adopted daughter survives him. Funeral services were held at Indiana, September 10, in charge of Dr. W F Conner of the Allegheny District, assisted by Drs. B W Hutchinson, J J Hill, W S Lockard and J B Risk. Addresses were made by Drs H D Whitfield, T H Woodring and W F Conner. (Photo with article) ===================== Charles L. E. Cartwright DEATH TAKES DR. CARTWRIGHT Noted Religious Leader Contracted Typhoid Fever While On Speaking Tour. FAMILY IS AT BEDSIDE The Rev. Charles L. E. Cartwright, aged 69 years, of 2145 Perrysville avenue, North Side, for more than a half-century prominently identified with the religious activities of the tri-state district, died last night at his summer home at Cochrans Mill, Armstrong county, from typhoid fever. Contracting the ailment while on a speaking tour, Dr. Cartwright had been ill for nearly a month and was believed to be recovering, when his condition suddenly became critical. Members of his family were at the (snipped) Peter Cartwright (snipped) history and was the son of Richard and Louisa Cartwright. He was born June 25, 1856, at home of his grandfather, Edward Cartwright, at Brady's Bend, Armstrong county, while his parents were enroute to the father's new Methodist Episcopal circuit at Georgeville, Indiana county. The father occupied many of the Methodist Episcopal churches of the district and the son received his highschool education at the Carrollton (O.) high School. Taught School Early He taught school when but 16 years old and delivered his first sermon at the Washington High School , near Carrollton, when not yet 17 years old. While a student at Beaver College in Beaver and later at the Western University in Pittsburgh, he supplied numerous pastorates. Waynesburg College conferred the degree of doctor of philosophy upon him in 1898. He was married October 13, 1880 to Mildred Celestia McKee, a daughter of William and Harriet McKee, of Cochrans Mill, and the same year was admitted to the Pittsburgh Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church and assigned to the pastorate of the Second Methodist Episcopal Church at Brownsville, which charge he occupied until 1883. Other pastorates held by Dr. Cartwright were: Myersdale, 1883 to 1886; Coopersdale Avenue Church, Johnstown, 1886 to 1891; Irwin, 1891 to 1896; First Church New Brighton, 1896 to 1899; Scottdale, 1899 to 1905; First Church, Braddock, 1905 to 1908; North Avenue Church, Pittsburgh, 1908 to 1913; Turtle Creek, 1913 to 1914; Mary S Brown Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, Pittsburgh, 1914 to 1920. Upon completing his pastorate at the last named church, Dr Cartwright declined a new appointment and for two years was the conference evangelist of the Pittsburgh conference, and severed this relation to devote his entire time to the lecture and evangelistic field. Delivered Many Addresses He was widely in demand as a public speaker and lecturer and was known to thousands throughout the Pittsburgh district through his eloquence. Few public speakers in America have equaled the number of addresses delivered by Dr. Cartwright, running into the thousands. He was a member of the Myersdale Lodge F & A M. Dr. Cartwright is survived by his widow, four daughters and two sons, Frances, wife of the Rev R B Cuthbert, of Crafton; Mildred, wife of Attorney A B Jobson, of Oil City; Emily, wife of Stanley Miller, of Beaver, and Marguerite, wife of Paul R Engle, of Beaver; R Eugene Cartwright, of Columbus; Claude W Cartwright, at home; eight grandchildren, a brother, David Cartwright, of Johnstown, and two sisters, Miss Josephine Cartwright, of Beaver, and Mrs. Andrew Wilson, of Columbus.

Little Emma had been a praying child all her life. since the fall of 1871, when a little over five years old, she had felt that trust in Christ and love for his church and people, which only Christians enjoy. She was remarkable for her knowledge of religious subjects, her childish faith and prayerful trust in God. by her gentle, loving ways she won the hearts of all who knew her. In her daily prayers she never forgot to ask a blessing for her father and mother and each brother and sister. Though for months she suffered greatly from a complication f diseases, she never lost her sweet, spirit of resignation to God's will. In the last two or three weeks of her life, she often repeated the 23rd Psalm, and sang the songs about God and heaven which she had learned in her Sunday school; and many times she spoke of her desire to be at rest with Jesus. Though no one told her that she was near death, yet she knew it for many days, and distributed her playthings and other little possessions among the dear ones of the household, leaving a farewell kiss for a brother and a sister that were far away. She retained her consciousness till ten minutes before she passed away; when almost gone she said to someone in the room, "I am going to die." As we laid her little, pale form to rest, and as her classmates of the Sunday school sang by her open grave, "When He cometh to make up His jewels," we did not doubt that her ransomed soul was even then a bright jewel in the crown of Christ. Let us think of her not as lost, but as waiting in blessed peace, on the happy shore, to welcome playmates and teachers, her dear parents, brothers and sisters, as one by one they shall follow her across the dark river into the haven of rest. J M H ============= Chints, wife of J H Davidson, M D, was born in Greenfield, July 2, 1850, and died in peace at her home in Perryopolis, Pa, June 27, 1877. In the order of Providence it fell to the lot of the deceased to be born and reared up under precious religious influences, which culminated in her early conversion and identification with the M E Church. At the age of twelve years, during a meeting held in Upper Middletown, by Bros. W K Marshall and TH. Wilkenson, she gave her heart to God. Her religious life was not of the outgushing type, but rather of the calm and even. About five years ago she was married to her bereaved husband, and truly theirs was a union of hearts, for life's cares, sympathies, and joys were peculiarly mutual. Her last illness was short, and her dying expressions gave ample assurance that death had no sting. As her natural vision grew dim and dimmer, her spiritual vision grew strong and stronger, and she was enabled to look through the gates into the city of God, and behold among the redeemed her father, who had preceded her. Her pilgrim feet were "tired," she said, but just then she reached her journey's end, and is now enjoying the rest that remaineth for the people of God. Revs. Mansell, Wilkenson, and Baird assisted the pastor in the funeral services. R J Davis Died June 27th, 1877, Mrs C Davidson, wife of Dr Davidson, in the 27th year of her age. The funeral service took place on the 29th. The remains were followed to the cemetery by the largest concourse of relatives and friends that we ever saw here. the deceased was only confined to her room but a short tie before her death. She died in the full hope of a bright future, beloved and respected by all that knew her. We sympathise with the bereaved husband and inscribe to him these lines...
