JOHN BLODGET (d 1826.)—Few men in the Chris tian Church have been more sincerely and universally respected than the subject of this sketch. Most of the writers to our periodicals mention the names of Blodget and Lawrence as two of our most prominent men, who died in the same place (Conneaut) and were buried side by side. From the information I could gather, Elder Blodget came from some of the New England States, probably New Hampshire, to New York and Ohio. In the "Memoirs of Elder Joseph Badger," page 185, we find that Elder Blodget accompanied Mr. Badger from New Hampshire to New York, in 1817. On page 187 we find that Mr. Blodget was ordained at Pittsford, N. Y., August 30, 1817, at a general meeting. He moved to Conneaut, Ohio, and became the pastor of the church there. He was very successful, and was highly esteemed by the people. September 25, 1826, he died at his post, leaving a wife and three children to mourn his early departure.
