121 HISTORY OF THE VA CONFERENCE, E.U.B. CHURCH—D.F. GLOVIER
CROWELL:—Charles Henry Crowell was born in Clearfield County,
Pennsylvania on May 4, 1850. His parents later moved to Augusta County,
Virginia, where he received his education.
He was licensed to preach in 1874 and ordained in 1882. He served a
number of charges in the Maryland and Virginia Conferences and also as
Presiding Elder for four years on the Winchester District.
He organized the first Young People’s Christian Union in the
Conference, at the Harrisonburg church. He was the first president of the
Virginia Conference branch for a number of years.
He died in 1930 and was buried at Staunton, Va.
FADELEY:—George B. Fadeley was born at
Columbia Furnace, Shenandoah County,
Virginia, March 5, 1859, and died at his home
in Harrisonburg, Va., January 21, 1931, age 72
years, 10 months, and 18 days. He entered the
active ministry in 1885 and joined the Virginia
Conference in March 1886, in which he
continued faithful until a few years before his
death when he retired on account of ill health.
During his active ministry, the records show
that he received 1,300 members into church
fellowship. With one exception, his services
were confined to Rockingham and Augusta
Counties, having served several charges the second time. He was a timid
man and always underestimated his value. In his pastoral visitation he was
lovable and sympathetic, and in his preaching his appeals prompted by his
inner life, touched the hearts of his audiences. He lived a good life and died
a triumphant death. Interment was at Verona, Va.
DAWSON:—Rev. S. D. Dawson was born near Keyser, West Virginia.
He joined the Conference in 1894 and held local relations until his death.
When Rev. Dawson made application for membership in the Virginia
Conference, his address was given at Cabin Run, Virginia. The Ministerial
Register for 1894 then gives his residence as Alleghany County, Maryland.
He died in 1931 and was buried in Cumberland, Md.
