His [E. G. Trask's] second wife, whom he married April 5, 1839, was Mary, daughter of Deacon Ira and Sarah (Stanley) Emery, She claimed descent from the royal English house of that name, and said "The lion would crouch to her presence" in verification of her claim. About this time he was commissioned captain of the Industry Militia.
Ever after his conversion he felt it his duty to enter the christian ministry, but not until after his second marriage did he obey the call. He preached his first sermon at the home of Moses M. Luce in Industry. From these words : " Here am I send me." He was ordained at West's Mills, Dec. 5, 1844. After laboring in various pastorates until October, 1854, he went to Illinois, hoping a change of climate would benefit his wife, who was in feeble health. In December, 1862, he enlisted as chaplain of [Co. HQ,] the 4th Illinois Cavalry [Date of Rank or Enlistment: Oct. 27, 1862; Date of Muster: Dec. 19, 1862; Mustered out Nov. 3, 1864].
