- Rev. CARY. Elder CARY was a man of unbiased judgment and
earnest convictions; with more of
- dignity than is usual, and prematurely gray from ill health.
His preaching was Biblical and impressive. He was married March
12, 1815, to Miss Susannah RICE, his companion of more than half
a century. Their son Roswell, educated at Hillsdale College,
and a prominent member of the Nashville, Tenn., bar, died in
February, 1868. Of their seven children who survived at his death,
Benjamin, who died a few years ago, had served as a member of
the Wisconsin Legislature, and, for six years, as Treasurer of
Rock County; and Ephraim, Abram, and Richard are useful members
of the Johnstown church.
