109 HISTORY OF THE VA CONFERENCE, E.U.B. CHURCH—D.F. GLOVIER
TALLHELM:—Rev. Henry Tallhelm became a Christian at an early age
and at 30 became a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He joined the
Virginia Conference in 1854. The Conference of 1855 assigned him to Bath
(Berkeley Springs) Circuit. In 1856 he was at Woodstock, and in 1857 at
Lacey Springs. Besides the charges mentioned, he served Rockingham,
Pleasant Grove, Frederick, Tuscarora, and East Virginia.
At his request, the Annual Conference of 1874, granted him an
honorable dismissal from the Conference and church. At once he connected
himself with the Reformed Church in which he served most of the time
until 1900, when he again came with honorable credentials into the
fellowship of the brethren in the Virginia Conference, desiring to spend the
last years of his life in the Church of his youth. In all, he was 48 years a
minister. He was good, humble, peaceable and faithful. He died in 1902.
His funeral was held in the old U. B. Church at Edinburg, Va., where he
first became a member of the Conference. Interment was in the Edinburg
Cemetery, near by the resting place of Rev. Jacob A. Bovey and Rev.
George A. Snap.
SCOTT:—Rev. Snowden Scott was born in Loudon County, Virginia,
converted and joined the church at the early age of 14 years. His
membership was transferred to Mt. Hebron U. B. Church, near his late
home, in Grant County, West Virginia, at the age of 21. He was licensed to
preach and joined the Virginia Annual Conference in 1867 and was later
ordained at an Annual Conference at Bethel, Maryland. While Rev. Scott
was classified as a local preacher, he built a church at Mt. Olivet, Hardy
County, West Virginia, and preached there regularly for many years. He also
served Pendleton Circuit and other appointments near his home. He was
quiet and reserved in manner, unassuming and humble before God. He was
a splendid type of what a local preacher should be.
He came to his grave ripe in years, “like as a shock of corn cometh in
his season.” He died of pneumonia after one week’s illness at his home near
Seymoursville, Grant County, W. Va., May 2, 1901, aged 79 years, 4 months
and 29 days. He was buried, following appropriate funeral services, in the
cemetery at Mt. Carmel U. B. Church, near Seymoursville, W. Va.
