A Milwaukee pastor was appointed general agent of the American Home Mission Society for Wisconsin.

The evidence

• “traveled five hundred and seventy-five miles ; visited sixty-four families and thirty-one different places ; preached fourteen sermons ; delivered one temperance address ; attended one funeral ; organized one church ; administered the communion three times and baptism twice ; attended the meeting of the Presbytery, and distributed many Testaments, tracts and children's books. In 1839, he accepted a call to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Milwaukee, and there labored faithfully till 1841, when he was appointed general agent of the American Home Mission Society for Wisconsin. The good resulting from his work in this capacity can never be estimated.”
