Father Meads was in many respects a wonderful man; had a very limited education, a hardworking man, a man of business and push, and of superior judgment, loved by many and respected by all. Had a deep genuine experience in spiritual things; his advice was sought by many; his decisions as a rule were correct; his life and character stand as a living monument to his memory. His true calling was to the ministry as the writer can attest and as he himself has said. Funeral sermon was preached in the Free Methodist Church, Oct. 22, 1891 (of which he was a prominent member) by Rev. Phelps, his pastor. Text—1st Cor., 13: 18. Ceremonies at the grave by the writer.
