Notes - John graduated from Princeton College in 1830, after which he spent one year iteaching in Virginia, then returned to Princeton and entered the Theological Seminary in the fall of 1832. A failure of health prevented his completing his course of study for the ministry. He spent two years in Holmesville, Mississippi, where he engaged actively in the Sabbath-School, in prayer-meetings and other religious services of a public kind. After his health was sufficiently restored he successively had charge of several classical schools in Louisiana, and at Memphis, Tennessee., in Florida and in Georgia. The last years of his life were spent in Georgia. Although in teaching a large school, yet out of school hours he was much engaged in conducting religious services, in distributing religious tracts, and in other earnest and successful efforts to advance the kingdom of Christ.
Oa the morning of July 19, 1876, while engaged in his school duties at Thomaston, Georgia., he was suddenly struck down by an attack of apoplexy, and after exclaiming, " How blessed it is to be prepared to die," he breathed his last, in the sixty-sixth year of his age.
