The people who went with the pastor wrote back and it was learned that he organized a new church in the state of Indiana, where he had settled, and lie served this church as pastor until his death. History tells us of this man, that 'he - was a wolden' to the qpeoplo. The rec ords say that hundreds owned him as their spiritual father. This accounts - as to why they followed him to the far away state of Indiana. In describ Ing him the records say that .he was somewhat singular in his manner and - a stranger to pride. -ills opportunities for acquiring human learning had 'been limited, not what you would call an educated man; he was eloquent, sti t -ple, yet powerful. lie spoke as one who felt that he was surrounded 'by the bulwark of truth. Thie fac t that lie was a man of strong perso.,ality ac counts for iII; success not only as a pastor but as a, leader of the people to such an extent that some were will ing to leave the community with him. After Joshua Palmer left comes 10i der Charles Crow, who served the church as leader for they had no pas tor. i-e served them until the year 1819. :le was succeeded in this ca pacity by Ulder Samuel Brown who served until the year '1828, who was followe din the work by Elder William Alexander w-ho served until the year 1S30, when James 'Harlan was called as 'Dastor of the church. lie was a very forceful preacher andi under Ills leadership the church continued to grow. 4 This church, venerable for its an tiquity has at i(fferent tines parted -with a considerable portion of its members, it being the mother church of siomec two or three other churches which were formed by members dis 1111sed from this church for tile ]IIr pose of organizing other churches. Among the number that were organ ized were -Warrior Creek which was a powerful church in its earlier minis try, and doing noble work. now. Hur ricane 'was organized from the mem bership of this church in the year 1835 leaving at that time only 71 mcm bers on the roll of the mother church. Joshua Palmer who -was serving the church along with Spencer Bobo, Reu ben Kelly and Lewis Rector, who join ed them after tile three had worked together for some thile, went lp to Durbin Creek which ha only beedn re cently organized at that time. Joshua Palmer trained and taught Sepncer 'Bho and Reuben Kelly in the work. They did a good work in this coim munilty.

Lake Forest, Ills., Aug. 25.-Dela'van ISmith, publisher of the Indianapolis News, who has been critically ill at his summer home here, died tonight at 8:30 o'clock. After apparently gain ing during the day, he suffered a sid den relasse tonight and died a few minutes afterward. :Mi. Smith nuffered from anaemia. Several 'blood transfusions were iade in an effort to save his life. Mr. Smith was the son of William Henry Smith, a veteran newspaper man of Cincinnati and Chicago. le -was a cousin of the late Vice President Charles .Warren Fairbanks. -lie was born December 28, 1861, in Cincinnati where his father was a newspapeir re porter in Civil War days. The elder -Smith was at. one time general mana ger of the Western Associated Press. -Mr. Smith at one time was assist ant general manager of the Associated Press. Besides his newspaper inter est he had holdings in several enter prises including the Oliver Typewriter company, of which lie was vice pres&. dent and director. In the controversy over the Panama Canal route during the Roosevelt ad ministration, Mr. Smith for a time be came a center of national interest, owing to the news crllteism of methods by which the Panama Canal territory was acquired and the resulting indict ments against oMr. Smith In tile federal court of the District of Columbia. While air. Smith and Mr. Roosevelt were personal friends, the News dis cussed the canal question freely al though Mr. Smith himself did not ,per sonally wiite the comment. Mr. Smitlh contended that he had the right of trial in the state in which the paper was published, and was successful in resisting removal to the district of Columbia. The case never came to trial, although President Roosevelt en rolled 'i.Nr. Smith in his fictitious Ana nlas club. M1r. Smith was a bachelor.
