Mr. Metcalf was born near Lancaster, Chester Co., Pa., Feb. 9th, 1818. With his parents he emigrated to Belmont Co., O., in 1833. In the winter of 1836, at St. Clairsville, he united with the M.E. church, of which he remained a consistent member till death. He filled important positions in the church, and his zeal and liberality in the Master's cause were unbounded. In 1840 he married Miss Mary J. Willis, with whom he traveled life's rugged pathway for nearly forty years, and who now survives to mourn his loss. He had nine children, two of whom have gone on before, and all were present at his death bed except three. They mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent father. He joined the Odd Fellows in 1852, to which order, next to his church and family, he was dearly attached. He labored hard to promote its principles, "Friendship, Love and Truth," and was at his death a member of Cherokee Lodge number 107. During his connection with the order he filled positions of trust and honor in both his own and the grand lodge. After twenty-six years residence in Ohio, he emigrated with his family to Wisconsin, and remained there until the fall of 1875, when he determined, on account of failing health, to remove with his aged companion to Cherokee, and live with his children. For several years previous he had suffered severely from dyspepsia, and getting no better, he took a trip to California in 1876, to improve his health and visit some children. His health did not improve and he returned after a five months stay, only to commence a lingering sickness, intense in its suffering and astonishing in its characteristics. During his last sickness of nine weeks, the functions of nature seemed to be entirely stopped. All that a loving wife, kind children, and sympathizing friends could do, was done; but it was of no use. He was conscious all the time and often spoke to his pastor of his future, remarking, "All things are ready." The funeral was largely attended at the M.E. church, under the control of the order of which he was a member. The religious part of the exercises was in charge of Rev. Jas. Murray. Thus, "One by one we are passing over." M. [Viroqua, (Wis.) papers please copy.] Obit contributed by Cheryl White
