Read More	"The Seventh Day Baptist General Conference Yearbook", 1935. James H. Hurley, son of Leven and Sarah (Babcock) Hurley, was born in Welton, Iowa, December 21, 1856 and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Campbell, in Welton, Iowa, January 14, 1935, with neuralgia of the heart. May 15, 1876, he was united in marriage with Miss Amelia Pierce of Welton, Iowa. Here fifty years later they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, and here Mrs. Hurley died and was buried after a union of fifty-six years, in which she had shared with him the joys and sorrows of a ministry that took them to the following churches: Welton, Iowa; Lick, W. Va.; New Auburn, Wis.; Garwin, Iowa; De Ruyter, N.Y.; Farina, Ill.; Marlboro, N.J.; Vernon, N.Y.; and Albion, Wis.. Mr. Hurley has left this note in regard to his forty-five years of evangelical and pastoral work: Durig these years I did gospel tent work in Iowa and South Dakota and have preached the gospel of Jesus Christ in twenty-one states. While yet in his teens, he asked for baptism and for membership in the Welton Seventh Day Baptist Church, which request was granted, and on March 8, 1890, he was licensed by that church to preach. After a short pastorate there he with his family went to Alfred, N.Y., and there did three years preparatory work for the ministry. In 1893 he was called to the pastorate of the North Loup Church, and here in October of that year he was ordained to the gospel ministry, Rev. Samuel R. Wheeler acting as moderator and William A. Prentice as clerk. His pastorate at New Auburn, Wis., was what might be called a frontier post, as it was in the northern woods of Wisconsin. Perhaps he never enjoyed what might be called an easy pastorate. During his early ministry he was eminently successful and much in demand as an evangelist. His message was simple and direct and was always backed by the faith that Jesus Christ could save. A common expression of his to seekers after God was, What you need is Jesus Christ. During these years an incomplete record shows that he baptized 125 persons and officiated at more than sixty weddings. One useful service in his ministry was the gathering into the churches he served, of any detached or absent members from other churches; his record abounds in members received by letter or verbal statement. Though seventy-eight years of age, he made, with his daughter as a traveling companion, an extensive trip to the Pacific coast, stopping to visit his son Oakley in Long Beach, Calif., and at the home of his grandsons Elmer and Paul Sanford. He was called to the pastorate of the Los Angeles Church, but age and throat trouble seemed to make it wise to return to the home of his daughter. His work was done. He passed, as he wished, without a lingering sickness to burden and distress others. He was ready and said he was not afraid to trust in death the God he had trusted in life. He leaves to mourn his going; one sister, Mrs. Mary Clement of North Loup, Neb.; three brothers, Lewis of Welton, Iowa, Theodore and Charles of riverside, Calif.; a granddaughter, Mrs. Talva Wulf; his son-in-law, Zuriel Campbell; five other grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at the Welton Seventh Day Baptist Church, January 16, and his body was laid to rest by the side of that of his wife in the little cemetery that lies in the very shadow of the church where he first publicly confessed Christ, where he was licensed to preach, where he was three times pastor, and from whose portals he fared forth to that home from which no man returns. The services were conducted by Rev. Claude L. Hill of Farina.
