Dr. Capers joined the South Carolina Conference with the class of 1844. Ot that class there are now but two surviv ing members, the Rev. Dr. Charles Taylor, formerly one of our missionaries to China, and the Rev. John M. Carlisle, who still lingers with us. His first appointment was to the Black Swamp circuit as junior preach er with Henry Bass. The fol lowing year, 1840, he was sta tioned at Greenville. At the Conference held in Charleston in 1847, over which his honored father, Bishop William Capers, presided, he was elected and ordained Deacon. That year he was appointed as junior preach- on the Cokesbury circuit, and again had the venerable Henry Bass as his colleague. At the session of the Conference held at Spartanburg in 1848, over which his father again presided, he was ordained Elder, and ap pointed to Camden station for the year 1849. He was return ed to this work the following year. In 1851 he was left with out appointment on account of ill health, and at the Confer ence held at Georgetown in De cember of that year he located. At the Conference held at Spar tanburg in 18(52 he was read mitted into the traveling con nection and appointed to Mar ion Street, Columbia, which charge he served during the years 1803 and 1804. In 1805 he was the beloved pastor at Spar tanburg. In 1800 he was sta tioned at Washington Street, Columbia; Yorkville in 1807; Cokesbury station in 1808 09; Darlington station, 1876 71; Ab beville station, 1872 74; Charles- ton, Spring Street, 1875-70; Georgetown, 1877-70; Washing ton Street, Columbia, 1880; Darlington station, 1881-82 Florence, 1883-84; Camden,1885- 80; Mars B uff, 1887 88; George town station, 1889-92. At the close of the year of 1892 Dr. Capers was granted a superan nuated relation and removed to Columbia, where he has since resided with Rev. E. Toland Hodges, Presiding Elder of the District. About two months ago he and his devoted wife went up to Greenville hoping that the change would benefit his much impaired health. These hopes, however, were vain. For time his friends were quite san guine; then again a severe at tack would indicate only too clearly that no permanent relief could be expected and that the end must come sooner or later. We were expecting his return to this city during the present week, and were hoping that, though he might not be spared to us many years longer, yet still he might survive for many months to come. Alas, for our hopes! But our brother is re leased from his suffering and has entered into rest Dr. Capers was a son of Bish op William Capers, of blessed memory. He was brought up in the very lap of piety and in an atmosphere of Methodism. He loved his Church and the cause of Christ with a consum ing passion. He was an inter esting and attractive preacher —classical in his tastes, poetic in his imagination, fervent in his pulpit manner. He excell ed, however, as a pastor. Every body loved him. He was re cognized as the children’s friend; they all flocked about his knee, and were happiest when in his prerence. The devotion of the colored people to him was a striking characteristic, and a noteworthy tribute to his worth. We have never known a more amiable, sweet-spirited, lovable man. Dr. Capers was twice married. His first wife was a Miss Austin of Greenville County, S. C. In 18(56 he was married to Miss Sallie Bell of this city, who has been to him during all these years a helpmeet indeed, and to whom his devotion was as per fect as it was beautiful. Other pens more fitting than ours will pay appropriate trib utes to the memory of this good and precious man.
