He received a B.S degree from Moore's Hill College which is today the University of Evansville, in 1877.
Melville and Mary Jane Edna married in India on December 18, 1881, were he was serving as a missionary from 1879 to 1882. One source states he was in India until 1885, and upon his return took up residence in New York City. He had previously been a missionary to Liberia from April 28th-November 1878.
As I see that you posted the dates which he served as the minister of my church, here are some other churches, at which I discovered, he served:
Jacobs Chapel, New Albany IN – 1875-1876 (interestingly his brother Freeman had served the same church from 1873-1874)
Rose Hill Church, Manhattan – 1886-1888 –this fits with the 1885 date mentioned above.
Bayshore, Long Island – 1889
Hempstead, Long Island – 1890-1892 – hence the burial site, I presume.
Charity work in New York –1893-1900
Willis Avenue Church-Bronx, NY – circa 1901
Franklin Street Church, Newark New Jersey 1909-1910
Minister in the United Methodist Church,Rutherford, NJ from 1913-1916
After serving my church he served a church in Bayonne, NJ from 1916-1921 when he retired. Both he and his wife continued to reside in Bayonne until there deaths, with Melville dying of a heart attack.
He also taught graduate courses in Philosophy at NYU for at least the 1900-1901 school year.
