Rev. Daniel Fancher.
Rev. Daniel Fancher was born in Greene Co., N.Y.,
July 17, 1888, aged 85 years. His early life was spent in
Worcester, Otsego Co., N. Y., where he was married to Miss
Lucy Payne in 1826. He was converted in early manhood
and was licensed to preach by the quarterly conference of
Worcester charge before the year 1834, which according to the
Historical Register of Central N. Y. Conference was the date of
admission into the Oneida Conference on trial. As a supply
under the presiding elder he served the New London charge.
From 1834 to 1836 he was on the Bainbridge circuit. In
1837 he was admitted to the full membership of the Conference,
serving Scipio circuit one year, Scott at Otselic two years and
Truxton one. In 1842 and 1843 he was at Cardiff, 1844 and
1845 at Pompey. From 1846 to 1850 inclusive he was on the
Onondaga reservation and Indian mission, from which he was sent
to Fayettville, where he served one year. The next year he
was returned to the Indian mission; but at its close, by reason
of poor health was granted a superannuated relation, which he
held for six years. In 1860 and 1861 he was effective and
served the mission, at the close of which term he entirely
failed in health, since which time he has been upon the list of
superannuates.
Brother Fancher gave to the Church twenty-five
years of earnest effective service in the pastorate, - years
when hard work and poor pay where the inevitable lot of the
Methodist preacher. He has warred a good warfare, left a
clean record on Earth and his name is written in Heaven.
He died under the shadow of the church which he helped to build
for the gathering of souls for the Master and for the worship of
the Holy Trinity, and in the house where over one-fourth of his
ministerial life had been spent, and among the people he had
been instrumental in leading from paganism to Christ. The
funeral services were held at Cardiff where he was a pastor for
two years, and where a large part of his superannuated life was
spent.
He died suddenly, but was not surprised. He was
ready and waiting. The day before his departure he was
unusually bright and comfortable; and spoke of his happiness in
God. The next morning early he fell asleep in Jesus.
There was a large gathering of old friends and
acquaintances at the funeral service. Revs. F. W.
Tooke, J. F. Andrews, H. B. Sith, T. R. Green and W. H.
Annable took part in the service and bore him to his grave.
The service was in charge of Rev. W. H. Annable,
presiding elder of Syracuse district, who presented a memoir of
the deceased, and others delivered brief addresses. His
three sons and two daughters survive him. Rev. Abram
Fancher, of Central N. Y. Conference, at whose home he died,
occupies the position and property where his father lived and
labored so long and successfully.
Brother Fancher was a typical Methodist preacher
of a half century ago, and in manner, in faith, in zeal.
He knew God, had wonderful faith in the gospel as the power of
God unto salvation unto every one tha believeth. His work
will remain when his name has been forgotten and the marble
which marks his resting place has crumbled away. .W.

OBITUARY
PROFESSOR GEORGE M. MOWBRAY.
Professor George W. Mowbray, the well known
scientist and inventor, died at his residence on Union street,
North Adams, Mass., Sunday in his seventy-seventh year. He
was closely identified with the construction of the Hoosac
Tunnel and as the improver of nitro-glycerine, rendering its
manufacture of commercial success, and the inventor of smokeless
powder he is known throughout Europe and America.
Professor Mowbray was born in Lewes, England, and received
his education as a chemist in England and France. He came
to this country in 1853 and spent five years in the gold
districts of California. He was employed as chemist in the
oil regions of Pennsylvania for ten years and went to North
Adams in 1868. He then improved nitro-glycerine and
superintended its use in the Hoosac Tunnel. He worked on
the tunnel until its completion and continued the manufacture of
his improved explosives until 1880. He subsequently
patented an improvement for the insulation of electric wires and
for the past six years has been the chemist of the Zylonite
concern at Zelonite. His last invention was smokeless
powder, which he patented a few months ago. He has since
held the position of consulting chemist for the Maxim and
Nordenfeld Arms Company of London. He had been in failing
health for several months and his death was hastened by a severe
attack of the grip. His life has been one of ceaseless
activity, his experiments continuing to within a few weeks of
his death. He is survived by his wife, formerly Miss
Mary Ann Fade, of England, a most estimable lady, and an
adopted son, H. Siddons Mowbray, of New York.
