Johnson county Il Genealogy Trails- "Old Reynoldsburg Methodist Church"
Rev. Reuben Wilson Laughlin, who was born two years before this church was founded. He came from his native state of Kentucky four years after its organization, was converted two years later at the age of eight years, at the age of sixteen a definite consecration led to his uniting with this church before the fifties, and feeling the urge to enter the work of the ministry, he was licensed to preach in the newly erected frame building on July 14, 1854 with Presiding Elder Rev. Ephraim Joy and Rev. J. L. Thomas the pastor in charge. He was set apart to the full work of the ministry in 1859 at the hand of Bishop E. R. Ames at the Northern Illinois Conference held in Richview. After twenty nine years in active pastoral service and by reason of broken health, he was placed on the superannuated list in 1885. His succession of pastoral charges follow: Pulaski, Marion, Blainesville, Saratoga, Murphysboro, De Soto, Hickory Hill, Spring Garden, Benton,Marion (again), Tamoroa, Nashville, Calhoon, Bible Grove, Corinth, Steelville, Wakefield, Makanda, Tamoroa (again), Beaucoup, and Troy. Although never being appointed pastor of the home church of Reynoldsburg he was a frequent visitor to its pulpit and for many years during his decline he came back to preach a sermon on his anniversary of his licensure in 1854. He was always a most devout and loyal servant in the cause dearest to his heart. His marriage was to one of the young lady members of the same church, Nancy Triplett and which took place soon after uniting with the church. These two consecrated lives were dedicated it seems to each other as well as to the life-calling of the ministry and after the labors, trials, and [after] triumphs of some sixty-six years of married life the death angel [took] them away together on the same day, Jan. 25, 1927, thus they entered their well earned rest. Reynoldsburg molded their lives and they became most useful servants all down the years. (Courtesy of Katie, Find A Grave member #47399384.)
