Unknown
In the midst of his years this wise, faithful and 
eminently useful servant of God and the Church was called 
from earth.  He was born in Washington county, this state, 
February 1, 1861.  He was educated at Greene Academy and 
Allegheny College.  The latter institution conferred upon 
him both the classical degrees and the honorary degree of 
Doctor of Divinity.  He began his ministry in the Pittsburg 
conference in 1888, serving with good report for almost 
thirty-one years.  Among the charges to which he ministered 
were McKee's Rocks, Jefferson Avenue, Washington, Apollo and 
Indiana.  At the close of a pastorate of seven years in 
Indiana he was appointed superintendent of the Blairsville 
District.  He had come to the last quarter of his fifth year 
in the strenuous work of supervision when his health failed. 
The hope that he would recover strength after a period of 
rest which had been arranged for him was not realized -- God 
gave his beloved sleep.  Doctor Cary was a thoughtful 
student, a good preacher, a judicious administrator, a wise 
counselor and a loyal friend.  His integrity was 
unquestioned and fidelity was an outstanding feature of his 
character.  His worth was recognized by his election to the 
general Conference in 1912.  He was a member of the 
Publishing Committee of this paper for the quadrennium 
1908-12.  He was married in 1888 to Anna May, daughter of 
the Rev. J G Gogley, of the Pittsburgh conference, who with 
an adopted daughter survives him. Funeral services were held 
at Indiana, September 10, in charge of Dr. W F Conner of the 
Allegheny District, assisted by Drs. B W Hutchinson, J J 
Hill, W S Lockard and J B Risk.  Addresses were made by Drs 
H D Whitfield, T H Woodring and W F Conner.
