My Dearest Husband: - by Elizabeth J. Riggs
Financial woes, child-rearing, and employment concerns sound like modern problems, but Lizzie and Berte Ingels faced those same troubles in 1893 and faced them halfway across the nation from each other. Their letters invite today's readers to share the challenges and the joys of life on an Ohio River farm in Victorian times. Elizabeth Riggs, their granddaughter, has woven the letters into a narrative that tells their story. As a senior in high school in 1885, Lizzie kept a journal which vividly describes her studies and commencement as well as her adventures on the Ohio that year. She later treasured Berte's romantic notes during their engagement in 1890. The letters, the journal, and the pre-nuptial notes together provide a window into a time gone by. Lizzie and Berte never made the history books, but their words make history come to life.

LOCAL PREACHERS.
Almost from the beginning Methodism has made use of lay preachers: men, who not being able, for various reasons, to devote their entire time to the preaching of the Gospel, yet could occasionally fulfill the office of preacher, and thus make up, at least in a measure, the lack of a sufficient number of regular ministers.
This work has had some excellent men here, including Perry Davis, Frank Davis and Charles Ferguson, all of whom have been given previous attentions.
Others deserve notice here. They are: Herman Newman was a Blacksmith who lived at Chambersburg. He was well liked and was often called upon to preach funerals, seeming to be specially adapted to that work. He held what was long known as a “big revival” at Mt, Carmel. He finally entered the Kentucky Conference, ---McGuire received license to preach about 1859. He was later recommended to the Conference as a traveling preacher, was received and traveled for some time, then joined the East Ohio Conference, and is now a presiding elder therein. While here he held a great revival at Ohio Chapel.
Bro. B. H. Ingels was for some time a local preacher, and for a time supplied a mission circuit in Colorado
THE PRESENTS CLASS.
The plan of saying but little of the living, which has been pursued throughout this work, is all that prevents the abundant use of superlative in the treatment of this subject. It must suffice to say, that the communities, which are equal to that of Clay Chapel, are not to be found on every pastoral charge in Southern Ohio.
