J. M. Trimble Rev. J. M. Trimble died at his residence at 281 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio at 8:45 P.M. May 6th. The funeral services were held at Wesley Chapel on Friday morning and the remains were brought here on Friday and were interred the same evening. The pall bearers were Revs. W. D. Cherrington, Franklin McElfresh, Byron Palmer, J. C. Arbuckle, H. W. Lewis and L. F. Postle. The following sketch of Dr. Trimble's life appeared in the Columbus Dispatch: Rev. Joseph McDowell Trimble, D.D., was born in Woodford County, Kentucky on April 7, 1807, and was a son of Allen Trimble, who was Speaker of the Senate of Ohio from 1820 to 1822, and finished nine days of Governor Brown's term as Governor, when Brown was elected to the U. S. Senate in 1822. His early education began at the village school at Hillsborough, Highland County, Ohio, which was the residence of the family; and at the age of fifteen he entered the Ohio University at Athens, from which he graduated in 1828. Dr. Trimble was converted in 1827, and shortly after he graduated was admitted to the Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church as a traveling minister. This was in opposition to the wishes of his father who had another profession in view. He was elected Secretary of the conference in 1834, and served in that capacity for thirty-one years. During two sessions of the general conference he served in the capacity of Secretary. In 1835, he was appointed Professor of Mathematics in Augusta College, Kentucky, which position he ably filled until 1840, at which time he resigned. In 1841, Dr. Trimble was first assigned to Columbus in charge of the Town Street M. E. Church and in 1863, he was again returned to this city as pastor of Wesley Chapel. He was elected Second Assistant Missionary Secretary for the West in 1864, and served for four years during which time he visited conferences in Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut,Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kentucky and Tennessee. Dr. Trimble came to this city in 1869, and located on Gay Street near Fourth where he lived until 1979, and since that time had lived at 281 East Broad Street. In 1871, he was made financial agent of Ohio Wesleyan University of Delaware, Ohio and served in that capacity up to the present time and was also an active member of the Board of Trustees of that institution since 1852. He was extensively known throughout the state, probably more so than any other minister. His sermons were popular in character and he always avoided the abstruse problems, and strictly adhered to the vital truths of Christianity. He was a fluent speaker, possessed of a clear penetrating voice which he always kept under excellent control. His manner was earnest and persuasive and his influence magnetic. To know him was to love him and an evidence of the high esteem in which he was held by the ministry, with his election as representative to the Quadrennial Conference in 1844, and he has acted as such representative every four years from that time up to and including 1888. This is unprecedented in the history of the Methodist Church. For the last thirty-two years he has been a member of the General Missionary Committee of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who have the disbursing of all missionary funds raised by the church. He was one of the greatest missionary workers in this country and his fame was not confined alone to America, but his name is known and honored in many foreign countries. The deceased was married to Sarah P. Starr September 22, 1830, at Hillsborough, Ohio. Dr. Trimble was one of five superannuated preachers of the M. E. Church who were members of Broad Street Church at one and the same time. The other four were Revs. Henry Whiteman, W. D. Cherrington, B. N. Spahr and J. L. Grover, all of whom are now dead except Mr. Grover, who is the oldest superannuated preacher of that denomination in the state.
