"In the Smethport Circuit, M'Kean County, Pa., Revs. H. N. Seaver and J. W. Stryker had a good year. The latter was a stout Dutch American, rather heavy and awkward, but really earnest in labor, and often preaching well. His wife was a charming little body, quite gifted, and very useful in religious meetings. She died early, but well, and was deeply mourned by her devoted husband."

"J. W. Stryker had been located "without his consent," but at the end of the year was restored. Still his people, though esteeming him a good man, did not enjoy him as their regular and constant pastor. They did not say so to him, but they did to his Presiding Elder. At this session, although he was elected and ordained Elder, yet no presiding elder had a place for him in his district. This being the case, Bishop Elijah Hedding presented his name to the Conference and asked that he be "respectfully requested to ask a location." Hearing all this, with quivering lip and deep emotion the good brother arose, went forward to the altar, and facing the Conference, plead his own cause. He affirmed with emphasis that the objection against him were with the members of Conference and not the people, but he closed with "respectfully" asking a location, which was granted. He died a few years afterward, and doubtless is safe beyond the reach of trial."
