MORGAN'S HISTORY OF THE NEW JERSEY CONFERENCE Page 204
Whereas, This annual conference has learned with regret of the death of sister Sarah H. Bean, the sister-in-law of Rev. Scipio Bean, one of the first missionaries to Hayti, and also the mother of J. H. Bean, assistant secretary of this conference; therefore,
Resolved, That we extend our humble condolance and sympathy to Rev. J. H. Bean in his hour of affliction.
We, your committee on obituaries, beg leave to submit the following:
A dark and inexplicable providence has taken from the bosom of the church Rev. E. T. Williams and Rev. William E. Stiles, soldiers of the cross and earnest workers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. They were acceptable preachers, but they have gone from labor to great reward - to the Church Triumphant, which is without fault, before the presence of God.
Rev. E. T. Williams was transferred to the New England Conference in 1859, and was transferred from the New England Conference in 1878 to the New Jersey Conference, and was appointed to Snow Hill Circuit, from whence he passed away, in hope of a glorious immortality, March 3d, 1880.
Rev. William E. Stiles departed this life Feb. 25, 1880, at Bordentown, in full assurance of a home in heaven, aged 35. He was born in Virginia in 1845.
