REV. PLEASANT BROWNLOW. HUFFMAN

DEATH OF A GOOD MAN, WHO WAS WELL
KNOWN HERE.
Beverly, Nov. 4, 1898
Mr. Wm. M. Huffman and wife returned Thursday from the funeral of his father, Rev. P. B. Huffman, who died at Berdan, where he had been preaching for two years. He was buried at Bath, where he had formerly preached and where his son Wesley lives.
His family have quit keeping house. Mrs. Huffman will make her home with her son Wess, and the daughter will live with her brother in this city. She is a bright and intelligent young lady of 20, and will be very welcome here.
The Central Christian Advocate of St. Louis, of Nov. 9, gives a long and interesting notice of Mr. Huffman's death, from which we take the following:
Pleasant Brownlow Huffman was born in Washington county, Tenn., March 23, 1836, and died in Berdan, Greene county, Ill., Oct. 19, 1898. In 1870 he joined the Illinois conference in which he continued in the effective ranks until his death. He served the following charges: Pleasant Grove, Griggsville circuit, New Salem, Kinderhook, Lima, Chill, Beverly, New Hartford, Bath, Manchester, Chaadlerville, Greenfield circuit, Berdan. He was not able to attend conference as its last session, but was assigned to Waggoner.
Bro. Huffman was a good preacher, clear and practical. The method in which he seemed to excel was a practical observation on a passage or paragraph of scripture, which he applied to everyday life with a force that was unique and original. He had a very cheerful disposition. He saw much of the bright, and we may say the amending, side of life. He had no sympathy with sour godliness, or a somber and long-faced religion. He had a head for humorous incidents in which he could relate in such a way as to drive the good from any company in which he chanced to be. He had a ready wit, and in social gatherings few would exceed him in sparkling repartee, yet in it all there was no ceremony, no badgering or bitterness, nothing to leave a sting.
