Obituary
Died, on the 26th inst., Sunday, March 1848, Rev. John Hollow, pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in this village. The deceased was one of the founders of the denomination of Association Methodists in Cornwall, England. He came to the country about six years ago, and soon after organized a Society of his order in this place. This society afterwards connected itself with the Wesleyan Methodist Church;
Mr. H. Was an earnest, pointed, and faithful preacher. As a man, he was truly estimable. He was singularly frank, independent, sincere, and open hearted. Many loved him, and will deeply lament his untimely death. His funeral was attended on Thursday last, at the Presbyterian Church, where an appropriate and truly eloquent discourse was pronounced by the Rev. Z, Eddy, from Isaiah 1vii,1, ‘The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart,’ which was listened to with an unusual degree of interest by an immense concourse of citizens, assembled on the occasion. The Revd. Messrs. Delop, Leing, and Williams assisted in conducting the services.” Mineral Point Tribune March 31, 1848
