The deceased was born in Barnesville, Belmont county Ohio, on the 6th of June, 1806. His father and mother, Stephen and Sabilla Todd, being among the earliest settlers of that locality, the freedom of the surroundings of his birthplace, begot in him a dislike of mental and physical shackles. His earliest feelings were a repugnance to human slavery and was in time one of the earnest men who voted for James G. Birney for President. In 1827 he was married to Salle Smith, and in the fall of 1841 moved to Morgan county, and in 1852 moved to Iowa. He held a birthright in the Society of Friends, but about the age of thirty he became ?? with what was then termed Universalism, which gradually grew and expanded in him into a grand charity and great love for the whole human race. He felt that he was human, and governed by human impulses and the forces of nature, and that all of his fellows were subject to the powers of organism and surrounding forces. He claimed no sainthood for himself, nor gave it to others; but in later years he gave the race more credit for good than he in his boyhood had been taught to believe it merited. Freedom of thought he claimed to be his birthright, and this freedom which he claimed for himself he claimed for others as well and with this free thought came a boundless faith that the power which brought all into existence would care for all in the end
