Bouler was a veteran min_ i.ster nf the Columbia conference having been in the ministry 3F f, years, has pastored some of th* ivovtui^ III 1,11V * including White Hall, Elloree anc Lancaster. People would go foi 5 miles to hear him preach and many of his friends thought he should have been elevated to the 1 presiding eldership, because, of Hi' ' many sacrifices and hard work ' he made in the ministry. ISeveral years ago, the, trustee board of Allen university conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. He educated all of his children that would : take it and it was one of h?s greatest pleasures to tell frrends what a fine family he- had and how nice his children were to him. In 1928, while enroute to Chicago ai-t-cnH thp C.pneral Confer,ence of the A. M.

The minutes of-the General Conference of 1928 will attest to the above facts. The late Dr. R. W.
