To his bereaved widow, Mrs. Ellen R. Durfee, and his five fatherless sons we would express our deep sympathy in what is our common loss,-our joy in the sweet peace given him during his last days by the Master whom he loved and trusted. May such peace be theirs and ours in all the unknown future! In token of our sympathy and kind wishes our stated clerk will forward to Mrs. Durfee a copy of this minute, signed by himself and the moderator of Presbytery.
REV. DAVID L. HUNN.
The following sketch, as prepared by the Rev. George Patton, of Rochester, was adopted by Presbytery, April 9, 1889 :
Rev. David L. Hunn was born at Colerain, Mass., on November 5, 1789. His father was a soldier of the Revo- lutionary war, and suffered and survived the hardships of the infamous "Jersey prison ship." Mr. Hunn was pre- pared for college at Munson, Mass., under the tuition of the Rev. Levi Collins. He entered Yale College in 1809, and
103
HISTORY OF ROCHESTER PRESBYTERY.
graduated in 1813, with a class of 70 members, under the presidency of Dr. Timothy Dwight. Mr. Hunn studied theology at Andover for three years, and was ordained to preach the gospel on the 17th of February, 1817. His first pastoral charge was at Greenland, Mass. After, he had charge of the churches of Sandwich, Mass., East Windsor, Conn., North Hadley, Mass., Whitesboro, Lenox and Som- erset, N. Y.
Mr. Hunn was married to Miss Eunice Saxton, of Wil- braham, Mass., in 1817. They lived together fifty-five years; they had eight children, seven of whom survive them. Mr. Hunn spent most of his active ministry in the Congre- gational Church, and was quite active in church courts, but for many years he was connected with the Presbyterian Church, and was a member of Rochester Presbytery. He retired from the active duties of the ministry in 1860, but preached occasionally up to 1880. For several years he attended the Third Presbyterian Church of Rochester. In 1881, he went to Buffalo to live with his son, and as long as he was able, attended the North Presbyterian Church in that city. He was very earnest in educational and church work and faithful in his pastoral and religious duties. He voted at every Presidential election since 1812, up to the time of his death, and was greatly interested in public affairs. He could not be called an orator in the pulpit, but he was dig- nified, earnest, had a well-trained voice and excellent dic- tion. He was a good, faithful minister of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He died at Buffalo, January 29, 1888, at the age of 98 - years. He had long been the oldest living graduate of Yale and Andover, and was thought to be the oldest minister in the country. He was buried at Mount Hope, in Rochester, N. Y. He was carried to, and laid in his grave by several of his brother ministers in the full and blessed hope of a glorious resurrection through Christ.

HISTORY OF ROCHESTER PRESBYTERY.
REV. ALEXANDER SYLVESTER HOYT.
The following minute, as prepared by Rev. C. B. Gardner, of Rochester, was adopted by Presbytery April 10, 1889 :
Rev. Alexander Sylvester Hoyt died March 25, 1888. He was stricken with paralysis in the pulpit in the midst of the Sabbath morning service. After lingering several days and experiencing a renewal of the stroke, he passed away in unconsciousness on the following Sabbath. He had expected on that day to receive into the communion of the church a considerable number of the young people of his flock, who had been brought to faith in Christ through his labors. Even after his first stroke he had hoped that he would recover sufficiently to perform that service upon which his heart had been set. But it was ordered otherwise, and the expected communion Sabbath was the day of his death. He had wrought assiduously and effectively in the charge committed to him, and died at his post greatly honored and beloved by his people.
He was born at West Milton, Saratoga Co., N. Y., July 24, 1839. He graduated from Union College in the class of 1864, and from Princeton Theological Seminary in the class of 1868. He was licensed by the Presbytery of Albany, in June, 1867, and was ordained by the Classis of Saratoga, October 20, 1868. His first charge was at Greenwich, Wash- ington County, N. Y., where he remained but a few years. From Greenwich he removed to Ballston Centre, Saratoga County, where he continued in a successful pastorate for a period of twelve years. From Ballston Centre he was called to the pastorate of the church in Ogden, as the successor of Rev. A. McA. Thorburn.
In the beginning of his ministry his physical appearance did not seem to give promise of a long life of service. His first text at Greenwich was-"I shall be satisfied when I awake in thy
105
HISTORY OF ROCHESTER PRESBYTERY.
likeness," and one who was present remarked that the young man himself would soon prove a personal exemplification of the text. But his health seemed to improve in the ministry, and while at Ogden he was apparently possessed of suffi- cient robustness for a long life.
Brother Hoyt was a close student. He delighted in his books, and his mental tendencies were towards the investi- gation of metaphysical and theological questions. He had been closely engaged for some time before his death upon a work in criticism of Edwards on The Freedom of the Will, which he intended to publish. He was an instructive, if not an attractive preacher, and an acceptable pastor. He was a staunch defender and upholder of what he regarded as truth and right in all moral and ecclesiastical questions. He was in deed a strict disciplinarian, a thorough reformer, and an earnest and godly man.
He saw that death was near and was ready. Funeral ser- vices conducted by ministers of the Presbytery, without funeral drapery or tolling of the bell-as he had desired- were held in the church, filled to overflowing by the bereaved people, on Tuesday following his death, and on the follow- ing day the body was removed to Johnstown, N. Y., for burial. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. John E. Baker, assisted by Rev. A. S. Freeman and Rev. C. B. Gardner, also Rev. Mr. Mitchell, of Sweden.
REV. WILLIAM H. MILLHAM.
This sketch was written by Rev. S. A. Freeman, D. D.
William H. Millham, the fifth child of James Millham, a farmer of Charlton, Saratoga Co., was born in 1840. Not- withstanding his lack of early religious training, while yet a lad he began attending a Presbyterian Church at a con- siderable distance from his home, where he was converted
106
HISTORY OF ROCHESTER PRESBYTERY.
to Christ. Inclined at first to rebel at the loss of a hand at the age of seventeen, he afterwards often said that it was the greatest blessing in disguise of his life. Led to dedicate himself to the ministry of the Gospel, he graduated at Union College in 1864, and at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1867. Beginning his ministry in the Presbyterian Church at Galway, N. Y., in 1867, where he was ordained in 1868, he came to Livonia in 1871. Thoroughly consecrated to his work, full of sympathy for all, especially for the young, studious and prayerful in preparation for the pulpit, diligent in pastoral work, notably consistent in his daily life, from the first he won his way to the hearts of his people for himn- self, for his Master, and for his message. Their confidence, their respect, and their warm affection were his to the end. This was true, too, among other denominations, his Catholic spirit doing much to encourage Christian union in every good work. His labors were blessed with revival after revival, reaching those of all ages and conditions in life. His conduct of services at such seasons was marked by a happy tact in the choice of the right word, in the use of the right hymn at the fitting moment, delighting as he did in sacred song. The sway of his influence quickening the life of the church along all lines, was firm and forceful as it was gentle. The beneficent agencies of the church at large were heartily supported. He was through life a wise and whole souled friend of the temperance cause. Warm- hearted and sunny-tempered, kind and courteous in his bearing toward his brethren in the ministry, his presence among them was always conducive to the sweetening of Christian fellowship, the deepening and strengthening of their spirituality. The unction with which his carefully prepared sermons were delivered was an inspiration to all who heard them. Pastor for fourteen blessed years of a church strictly rural, the spirit and methods of the ministry of William H. Millham made it a worthy model for young
107

men laboring in similar fields, or, indeed, anywhere. His quiet influence was largely helpful of that harmony in which earnest gospel work has characterized Rochester Presbytery since the re-union. Accepting a call to Hillsdale, Mich., in 1835, he there filled out the measure of his abounding usefulness, almost the last Sabbath of his active ministry bieng gladdened by the reception of thirty young converts. A lingering struggle with disease closed peacefully, April 28, 1888.
He was married in 1867 to Miss Augusta Tracy Barbour, daughter of Rev. Philander Barbour. She survives him, with three sons and one daughter.
REV. LUTHER CONKLIN.
Rev. Luther Conklin was born at Aurora, Erie Co., N.Y. March 29th, 1817, graduated at Hamilton College in 1841, and at Auburn Seminary in 1844; was licensed by the Pres- bytery of Cayuga, April 18, 1844, and was ordained by the Presbytery of Onondaga in 1845.
From a biographical sketch prepared by his brother, the Rev. Oliver P. Conklin, of Rochester, and adopted by Presbytery April 9, 1889, the following facts respecting his history are gathered :
He was the sixth in descent from Ananias Conklin who with his brother John came from England about 1640 and settled first in Mass., for ten years and then at East Hamp- ton, Long Island. His mother was a Guthrie, whose ances- tors were of Scotch descent, and came to this country from the north of Ireland. He was the youngest of eight brothers and sisters, his father dying when he was only six years old. He was converted when he was about sixteen,
108

and two or three years later began to prepare for college with a view to preaching the gospel. He entered college when he was twenty-one, where he was intimately associ- ated with Profs. North and Dwight, and Rev. Drs. Kendall, Nelson and Knox, who were his fellow students.
After graduating at Auburn in 1844, he soon after began his ministry in the Presbyterian Church at Liverpool, N.Y., at the age of 27.
He was married at Leicester, Mass., in November, 1844, to Miss Almira Henshaw with whom he became acquainted while she was principal of the Female Seminary in Fulton, N. Y., who survives him.
After a service of two years at Liverpool, he took charge of the Congregational Church in Moravia, N. Y., where he labored very successfully five years. He then removed to Freeport, Maine, where he spent about six years in a pastorate which seems to have been very satisfactory to all.
He was then called to the pastorate of the Congregational Church of East Bloomfield, N. Y., where he remained ten years, when he resigned, mainly on account of ill health.
With the hope of improving his health by out-door labor he purchased a small farm near Rochester, which he culti- vated very successfully, and where he spent the remnant of his days, preaching as he had opportunity, for ten or twelve years after leaving Bloomfield.
From a child his health was frail, and in his later years, he was called to endure very great suffering, often causing him to wish that the end might come. He was confined to his house and to his bed, however, only a few days before his death, which occurred October 2, 1888.
While his contributions to benevolence during his life were very liberal, he may be regarded, though dead, as yet preaching the gospel in the large bequest which he has made to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions.
