MORGAN'S HISTORY OF THE NEW JERSEY CONFERENCE Page 24

CHAPTER I. 

REV. R. FAUCETT.

as he and his superior officer, Bishop J. M. Brown, could not agree about its relative duties and responsibilities. He was married by Bishop Campbell to Miss Annie E. Leamon, of Philadelphia, by whom a family of several children were born. He held the position of Secretary of the New Jersey Conference until he declined longer to serve. As a preacher he is plain and practical, not given to much theorizing, but more desirous of impressing the heart and conscience of his hearers. As a friend and brother, it can be said that he never betrayed a friend nor forsook a brother. He has been honored by being appointed one of the fraternal delegates representing the A. M. E. Church at the next general conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church.
