OCCUPATION: Presbyterian Minister and Professor at Southwestern University.
He was a pastor in Vicksburg when his youngest daughter was born.============================================================================
From Bob Thompson:
Presbyterian Minister and Professor at Southwestern University (Sharpe).
Became one of the most distinguished ministers in the Southern Presbyterian
Church, and an outstanding teacher at Southwestern Presbyterian University at
Clarksville, Tennessee, which later moved to Memphis.
As a youth, he entered Oakland College, took his BA degree in 1849, entered
Princeton Theological Seminary the same year and was graduated there in 1852.
His first charge was at Rodney and Bethel [in Jefferson County], followed by
ministry at Port Gibson and Vicksburg and in all these places he was greatly
beloved for his pastoral work and admired for his excellent sermons. From
Vicksburg, in 1882, he was called to the Chair of History and Literature at
Southwestern and for thirty years exerted a
profound influence upon the lives of the young men who studied under him there.
He seemed to be a born teacher, instilling into his students his own love of
learning.
His children too he taught in the same spirit, giving them a sound classical
education. Latin was begun at 7, Greek not until 10, with lesson hours and
discipline strictly observed.
During these years, Oakland College confered upon him the degree of M.A.,
the University of Mississippi that of D.D. He continued to be active in the
church at large, preaching on special occasions and serving temporarily at
vacant churches. He was many times a delegate to General Assembly and in 1897
delivered one of the principal addressses at the 250th Anniversary of the
Westminister Assembly of Divines at Charlotte, North Carolina.
Om jos ;ast actove uears at Southwestern, he taught Church History until he
was made Professor Emeritus in 1912. .... He died December 17, 1916, in
Clarksville and is buried there beside his wife.
