Eld. Jesse Partridge
Eld. Partridge was born in West Poland, Me., July 2, 1817, converted when seventeen years of age under the labors of Eld. James Libby, the father of our much-esteemed Bro. J. A. Libby and united with the Free Baptist church at the place of his nativity. In 1843, while living at Saccarappa, Me., he heard the doctrine of Christ’s second coming preached by Eld. Josiah Litch, and embracing it, he at once identified himself with the Second Advent people, and soon after began to hold meetings. In 1854 he was ordained to the work of the gospel ministry at Richmond, Me., by Elds. Edwin Burnham and Thomas Dudley, and, in the same year, labored in several places in Maine with much success, with Bro. R. R. York, a very interesting and godly minister, who is now resting in his grave. Among the fruits of their labors can be counted ministers of the gospel, one of whom lives in Saco—Eld. Gay—a very able expounder of the Word. Bro. P. was at Lowell, Mass., with those who met to formulate plans for publishing the World’s Crisis, which paper he always held in high esteem. In 1841 he was united in marriage to Hannah Wescott, a very amiable and pious young lady of Gorham, Me. He early engaged in business, which he carried on more or less through life that he might be “chargeable to none.” Feb. 16, 1897, he closed his earthly career, leaving his devoted wife and four lovely daughters to mourn; but he fell on sleep with the hope he had long cherished and preached to others, the hope of a real, bodily resurrection at Jesus’ coming. Sleep, beloved, till the morning dawns and the shadows of the dark night flee away, then awake with shouts of victory over death. W[illiam] H. M[itchell]
