GERMAN BAKER, 1792-1879: GERMAN BAKER died June 9, 1879, at Cockrum, De Soto county, Miss. For the satisfaction of his family and friends I will give a short sketch of his life. His grandfather, James Baker, was of Scotch-Irish descent, was a ship-carpenter by trade, and at an early time came from England to Norfolk, Va., and worked in the Navy-yard there until he was advanced in age, then moved to Halifax county, North Carolina; there Nathan Baker, his son, married Elizabeth Denton; from this union the subject of this memoir was born, June 9, 1792. There he remained until he grew to manhood; received a fair education for the times, working in the spring and fall, and going to school summer and winter; had to walk three miles most of the time, and use pine knots for a light to study by at night. About the time he became of age he was drafted as a soldier. This was in 1814; was inspected at Gates Court house, Va. and rejected on account of a hurt in the hip, not being able to march. Here he resolved to seek religion, and he continued to do so until he found the great blessing the 21st day of the next May. When he commenced to seek religion in good earnest he found that he was quite ignorant of the whole matter, although his mother had taught him to pray when a child, for he had no recollection when he did not pray. There was in the neighborhood an old Episcopal minister that had a large Church, and when the war ended he would not take the oath of allegiance, preferring to leave the country; advised his charge to join the Methodists, which they did. Into this association he was thrown, which was a great help. Moved the next year, with two of his uncles, Edward and Thomas Denton, to Wilson county Tenn.; here he met many relations, and others, full of religion. At a prayer meeting in the neighborhood he received a blessing; the mourners were called, and he was strangely impressed to tell them how he obtained religion, but delayed until he found himself very cold and unhappy. He determined if another opportunity came he would speak in the name of the Lord, and do the best he could. At the next meeting an opportunity was offered, and he began to exhort, and the Lord blessed him greatly, which resulted in great good to himself and others. He was urged on by this impression until he thought that he was called to preach, which, on examination, he felt he could not undertake, having to depend on his own exertions for a support. In this situation he remained for some time. Visiting his parents in North Carolina, he returned to Tennessee in 1820, and in the fall was recommended to preach at Winrow's Campground, at a District Conference held by the Rev. T. L Douglass. He took his name, with others, to Conference, and on his return brought him the plan of Caney Fork Circuit, which embraced the most of White and Warren Counties. He continued to preach in Middle Tennessee nine years. During this time he was married to Mary Reyser, a daughter of Charles Reyser, of Philade1phia, PA. He was ordained deacon, and afterward, elder, by Bishop Soule, at Sbelbyville, Tenn. After traveling nine years his health failed, so he was compelled to take a supernumerary relation. He thought teaching schoo1 was the next best business to preaching. In the meantime he kept up four appointments in the month. This he considered to be his duty to the Lord, for he felt "woe Is me if I preach not the gospel." As mother had been teaching they both engaged in teaching in Murfreesboro, Tenn. The first session they received over eighty young ladies, and the number never was under one hundred and ten the six years they remained. At that time it was called the Academy, but now Soule College. When he left Murfreesboro he came to Holly Springs, Marshall county, Miss., where mother taught school for four years. While there he bought land in De Soto County, where he engaged in farming, still keeping up his four appointments a month, organizing and building up Churches as long as he was able to ride. Mother died Sept. 6, 1852, and he was married the second time to Henrietta Cruther, Nov. 21, 1854, with whom he lived happily until God, in his providence, has seen fit to call him home. For the last four years his sufferings were severe, but he bore them with the patience and calmness that characterize only the true Christian. He was perfectly willing to meet death, and gave evidence that his way bright and1 clear. His works will follow. He leaves a wife, three sons, and one daughter to mourn their loss, all of whom are members of the Church he so much loved, trying to follow his godly example. May we al1 meet in heaven.

The Rev. SIMON P. WHITTEN, 1822-1881:
Simon Peter Whitten was born in Newberry District, S. C., June 7, 1822. His father, Mason Whitten, and his mother, Nancy Hair, were both natives of the same district. When in his third year his father moved to North Alabama, and settled near Florence. Three years afterward the family moved across into Tennessee, and settled in Wayne county. He professed religion, and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, April 15, 1839; was licensed to preach, August, 1841. He was married to Nancy Hays, Aug. 28, 1842. She died Dec. 1, 1843. In October, 1841, he was received into the Tennessee Conference, and appointed to the Lincoln Circuit, which had twenty six preaching places, covering the ground now (1881) occupied by two stations and three or four circuits. Joseph Smith was his colleague. Quarterage receipts, $60 25. In 1845 he traveled Marshall Circuits, in Alabama, with Joseph Turrentine, Quarterage received $59 70. First two years, all told, $119.95. In 1846 he traveled Lawrence African Mission, also in Alabama—had twenty appointments in three weeks. Quarterage and traveling expenses paid by the pastors in full, but owing to some arrangement, he never exactly understood, Conference took it all from him except $100. This was the last year he failed to receive his full disciplinary allowance. He went to the Limestone Circuit, in Alabama, in 1847, with Dawson Phelps. In 1848 he was ordained elder by Bishop Paine (having been ordained deacon by Bishop Andrew in 1846), and stationed in Shelbyville, Tenn. In 1849 and 1850, stationed in Tuscumbia, Ala. In 1851 and 1852, stationed in Franklin, Tenn. In 1853, stationed at Hobson Chapel, Edgefield, Tenn. In 1854, stationed again in Shelbyville, Tenn. In 1855, Agent for the Tennessee Conference Tract Society. In 1856, stationed at Andrew Church, Nashville, Tenn. In 1858, stationed in McMinnville, Tenn. In 1859, stationed at Andrew church, Nashville, Tenn., again. In 1860, stationed at Spring Hill, Tenn. In 1861, presiding elder of Centerville District, and returned in 1862, where he remained until 1865, no sessions of the Conference being held for 1863 and 1864 in consequence of the war. This district embraced Forts Henry and Donelson, and was early the scene of war, and most of it was overrun backward and forward by the contending armies, and was especially the scene of many dashing raids and bold partisan warfare. But the presiding elder, feeling that there was the greater need for the Church to be taken care of, remained in his district, filling every appointment except two Saturday appointments. Most of the preachers remained with him, and local preachers were employed to take the places of the few who left, so that there was regular preaching at all the churches during all the war. The preachers and official members were called together each year about the time the Annual Conference should have met, and the work was readjusted, and such changes made as seemed to be necessary, never keeping any man in any charge longer than the disciplinary term. At these meetings the statistics were reported and recorded, the Conference and missionary collections received and disbursed, appropriations made for the next year, and every part of the Annual Conference work which could be done was attended to, including the preparation and record of memoirs of deceased ministers. Thus the organization of the district, etc. was kept up. In 1865 he was stationed in Huntsville, Ala., and on the 5th of November was married to Mary Williams, of Stewart County, Tenn. In 1866 he was appointed and reappointed Agent of the American Bible Society for West Tennessee and North Mississippi. In April 1876 he resigned his position as Bible Agent, and in the fall of the same year returned to the regular work of the itinerancy, with which he had never severed his connection. When Conference met at Columbia, in 1876, he was sent to the Mt. Pleasant Circuit, where he served four years. In 1880 he was sent to the Alexandria Circuit, where, after serving his people faithfully for near six months, on the morning of the 19th of May he peacefully laid aside the cross for the crown.
The foregoing is a brief outline of the life and labors of the Rev. S. P. Whitten, one of the most honored and beloved members of the Tennessee Conference. His death was very sudden. He was in usual health, and after eating dinner he sat down and had a pleasant and cheerful conversation with his family, and proposed to ride to his recording stewards to procure facts preparatory to his District Conference. Stepping out of the parsonage to make ready for his ride he was suddenly stricken with paralysis, and was brought back to the house, lingered thirty-six hours, and without speaking a word, fell asleep in Christ.
Brother Whitten was of medium size, compactly built, and usually enjoyed comfortable health. He had a sound mind, which he carefully cultivated by reading and study. He was an able minister of the New Testament and a genuine Methodist preacher. His life was consistent and his example worthy of imitation. He administered the affairs of the Church with prudence and marked ability. As circuit preacher, missionary, stationed preacher, presiding elder, and Bible agent, he did his work with system, zeal, ability, and success. He was a delegate to the general Conference in 1870, and honored his Conference in that relation.
He belonged to a large family of Methodists, several of whom were and are honored Methodist preachers. Brother Whitten was a member of my family for twelve months while filling Hobson Chapel, and was a discreet, amiable Christian gentleman in private life. He has left a widow in feeble health, who rejoices in hope of joining him soon in the glory land, and two children, who esteem it an honor to be the descendents of a parent so worthy.
The members of the Tennessee Conference and thousands will receive the tidings of his death with great sorrow.
A good man, a faithful minister, and a loving friend. We mourn his departure, but he died in Christ.

NANCY SEVIER IRWIN (1810-1885), page 7:
Mrs. Nancy Sevier Irwin, daughter of John Sevier and Susannah Conway, was born on Chucky River, near Warrensburg, Greene county, East Tennessee, Oct. 30, 1810.
Her father was a nephew of John Sevier, the first Governor of Tennessee, and gave his life to his country in the War of 1814-15.
Her paternal grandfather was Valentine Sevier, a colonel in the Revolutionary war. His wife was Naomi Douglass. Her maternal grandfather was Harry Conway; a colonel in the Revolutionary war. His wife was Sarah Hundley, of Virginia.
She had three brothers and three sisters. Her sister, Mrs. Sallie Smith, and her half- brother William Maloney, died in Greene county, East Tennessee. Her sisters, Mrs. Narcissa Herring and Mrs. Maria Broyles, died in Hardin county, Tenn. Her brother, Henry Sevier, settled in Missouri, and died there a number of years ago. Her brother, Ambrose Hundley Sevier, was for a number of years United States Senator from Arkansas, and was sent to Mexico by President Polk as peace commissioner after the war in 1846.
Mrs. Irwin professed religion and joined the Methodist Church in East Tennessee when a little girl fourteen years of age, and connected herself with the Methodist Church at the old Turkey Creek Camp-ground in Hardin county, Tennessee, about 1826.
She married James Irwin, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., Dec. 18, 1828, at the residence of her sister, Mrs. L. H. Broyles, in Hardinsville, now known as Old Town, then the county seat of Hardin county, Tennessee. They moved from Murfreesboro to McMinnville about 1830, and from McMinnville to Savannah about 1831.
She lived an honored and consistent member of the Methodist Church to the end of her life, and after an illness of about two and a half days, died at her home in Savannah, Tenn., on Wednesday, October 7, at 3 P. M. 1885, aged 74 years, 11 months and 7 days. She died in the midst of her children and friends, and in the same room in which her husband died twenty-seven years before.
Her life was a beautiful exemplification of the Christian's faith, full of acts of charity and deeds of benevolence. She was a prominent member in the Church and a modest leader in every good work. She was the oldest member of her Church in Savannah, and always claimed the privilege of preparing the bread- which she had done for fifty years-for celebrating the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. When she was at home no one else thought of doing so.
Her home was a home for the preachers, and Methodist circuit riders for fifty years have here found a welcome and hospitable entertainment. She had ten children, all of whom, except her youngest, Hundley Sevier, lived to be grown. Her fourth daughter, Juliet, died March 22, 1861, Her remaining children, all living, are Mrs. W. H. Cherry and Mrs. Dr. Harding, Nashville; Mrs. Edgar Cherry, Mrs. D. A. Welch, Miss Sue Irwin, John S. Irwin, and Dr. L. B. Irwin, Savannah, Tenn., and Capt. James W. Irwin, McMinnville.
Her children loved her with an almost idolatrous devotion. All of them were present at her death except Mrs. Hettie Hardin and Capt. J. W. Irwin. They were telegraphed for but did not arrive in time.
She talked to her children and friends about dying, called them to her bed and told them to kiss her good-by, and asked them to meet her in heaven. For her absent children, calling them by name, she left the same message, and added: "Tell all my children to meet me in heaven, I want us to form an unbroken circle there." When asked by one of her friends, in reference to the outlook, she replied: "All is bright, there are no clouds." When one of her weeping daughters repeated, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me," she responded "Blessed hope." When almost gone her eldest son said: "Mother, you are nearly gone; tell us now how you feel as you are near the brink." She replied:. "All is well." Thus, in glorious triumph, she swept through the uplifted gates into heaven.
She was certainly one of the most devoted and most exemplary Christians, and one of the most unselfish and self-sacrificing who ever lived. She was abundantly benevolent and unselfishly generous, and "went about doing good." To her friends her presence was esteemed a benediction. She did not hesitate to sacrifice her comfort for that of others, and was always kind to the poor. Everybody loved her. Her former servants loved and respected her, and a number of them who were present she bade good-by, telling them to meet her in heaven.
A number of her expressions recently in reference to death indicate that she felt she was nearing life's close. In her exemplary Christian life and her triumphant Christian death she has left to her children and the world a priceless heritage.
The burial service was conducted by Dr. L. E. Covey, assisted by Mr. Milton Smith, and Mr. J. W. Cherry.
All the business houses and shops in town were closed, the school suspended, and the largest concourse of people ever seen in this cemetery, followed her to the grave.
