Memoir of Rev. William Gurley, Late of Milan Ohio, a Local Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church - Including a Sketch of the Irish Insurrection and Martyrs of 1798 #234063

IN presenting to the public a biography of my late venerable father, it may be gratifying to the reader to know the sources from whence the facts and materials for the work have been drawn. At the request of many of his acquaintances, several of whom were ministers of our Church, my father spent the summer of 1834 in committing to paper the most important and interesting events of his life, from his childhood to the close of the Irish Rebellion, and his subsequent emigration to this country, thus bringing the narrative down to a period within my own recollection.
