PREFACE
The Historical Volume Pastoral Records Western PA Conference of The United Methodist Church was last printed
in 1968. In order to keep the Records current, Janet & Norman C. Young have been retained to update the more
recent appointments and make necessary corrections as new information becomes available. New information comes
from the readers making corrections and suggestions. New information comes from Norman’s continued research on
the companion volume Church Records. As we are in the process for raising money from the conference for printing
this Historical Volume in the foreseeable future, we have decided to make this revision and update available on
these webpages www.wpaumc.org so the most current information remains accessible and for corrections to
continue to refine the document. I would like to especially thank the Young’s for their ministry and the many hours
spent in research and actually typing the additions to keep these Records current since the printed publication.

“Notes on Ministerial Records” excerpt from Methodism in Western Pennsylvania 1784-1968 pages 127-129.
MINISTERIAL RECORDS
THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA CONFERENCE AND PREDECESSORS 1825 - 1968
Contained in the single alphabetical roll of this book are the Ministerial Records of all the Ministers who have served in one of the Western
Pennsylvania Conferences from the time of the creation of the original Pittsburgh Conference in 1825 to 1968.
The following NOTES will help an understanding of these records:
1. MEMOIRS SEARCHED. The memoirs of all Deceased Members published in the annual Journals of each of the Conferences
have been read and pertinent data has been included in these records. This is the source of the dates for the life span and for the
given names of many of the ministers.
2. CONFERENCE JOURNALS MAJOR PRIMARY SOURCE. The Appointment Lists and the Disciplinary Questions published
annually in each of the Conferences are the sources for this information. To make confirmation of this data a researcher will need to
go to a file of the Journals for the Conference indicated in the record and for the dates cited.
3. PASTORAL TENURE IN THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. The numerous Appointments of the ministers of the Pittsburgh and
Erie Conferences during the nineteenth century are accounted for by the limitation on ministerial tenure in one appointment that prevailed in the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Until 1864 the allowable period in an appointment was two years. This was increased to three years from 1864 to
1888 and to five years from 1888 to 1900 when the limitation was removed.
4. METHODIST EPISCOPAL ERIE CONFERENCE MINISTERIAL RECORDS. The Erie Conference Ministerial Records have
been published eight times in 1866, 1870, 1898, 1911, 1927, 1936, 1957 and 1961 the record being updated with each publication.
For this publication all former Erie Conference records have been updated to 1968 and the entire list has been re-typed with the
dating made consecutive, and life spans and given names added where they were obtainable from the memoirs.
In the case of transfers of ministers to or from Erie Conference in many cases the Appointments in the other Conferences are given.
The Secretaries of the Conference who compiled the lists derived this information from a file of The General Minutes.
5. METHODIST EPISCOPAL PITTSBURGH CONFERENCE AND METHODIST MINISTERIAL RECORDS. This is the first
publication of the total roll of the Pittsburgh Conference. Reynolds’s Manual of the Pittsburgh Conference contains the appointment
record of the ministers living in 1889 and 1927. It also contains the Classes of ministers admitted to the Conference year by year
from 1825 to 1927 and a listing of the appointments made by the Conference for the entire period 1825 to 1927, and a listing of the
appointments made by the Conference for the entire period 1825-1927. It was an indispensable resource in compiling these records.
The records of the charter Members of the original Conference of 1825 are traced back to the beginning of their ministry using the
records of The General Minutes.
In most instances the Appointments of ministers who transferred into or out of the Pittsburgh Conference are only given while they were in the
Pittsburgh Conference. Conference Relations are given for other Conferences as far as they were available.
6. METHODIST EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE RELATIONS. The Pittsburgh and Erie Methodist Episcopal Conferences had two
levels of Conference Membership and two levels of ordination. In the earlier years a candidate for the ministry would be admitted on
trial, assigned to the first year in the Course of Study, and placed in an appointment. At the satisfactory completion of the first two
years of the four-year Course of Study, with satisfactory reports on his ministry by the Presiding Elder, he would be admitted into
full connection in the Conference and be ordained Deacon. At the completion of the full Course of Study he would be ordained Elder.
This procedure was modified in the twentieth century as increasingly higher levels of academic training were required.
The names following the dates of ordinations in these records are the names of the Bishops who ordained the candidates.
7. TERMINATION OF CONFERENCE MEMBERSHIP. Once a man was admitted on trial in any Methodist Annual Conference the
Conference was responsible for his employment in the annual appointments. He could be discontinued from being "on trial". When
he attained "full membership" status his Conference Relation could be terminated in any of the following ways:
A. By Transfer to another annual conference.
B. By Voluntary Location. This meant the surrender of his conference Membership at his own request.
C. By Involuntary Location. This meant dismissal from the ministry by Conference action.
D. By Withdrawal. This meant surrendering the Methodist ministry to enter another denomination usually its ministry.
E. By Expulsion. This was Conference action stripping a man of his ministerial credentials and his membership in the Methodist
Church.
F. By Death.
8. THE METHODIST PROTESTANT RECORDS. This was a difficult list to compile. The Conference never published anything on
ministerial records. The name "Methodist Protestant" in the Conference Relations section of the record identifies these persons. A
special research group, headed by Norman Carlisle Young compiled these records by a careful reading of the Journals and
appointment lists from 1828 to 1939.
All men are listed as "ministers" who served one or more appointments in the Methodist Protestant Conference whether they achieved
membership in the conference or not.
4
9. USE OF THE TERMS "SUPERNUMERARY" AND "SUPERANANUINED."
A. A man could be granted the supernumerary relationship, and be left without appointment for impaired health or other legitimate
reasons without surrendering his ministry in the conference for a period of several years. When a man took this relation it is entered
in the list of his appointments in these records.
B. "Superannuated" = "Retired". This is a relationship granted by the Conference in which the Conference is released from the
requirement to give the man an appointment. In these records it is entered only in the
Conference Relations, UNLESS the man took one or more appointments after retirement, in which case it is entered in the proper place in
the record of appointments.
10. THE SUPPLY MINISTRY. Since the Conference is not under mandate to account for the appointment of Supply Ministers the Conference
Records on these useful servants of the Church are incomplete. There were few Supply Pastors in the Methodist ministry during the nineteenth
century when the Course of Study route into conference membership was open. With the rising ministerial education requirements of the
twentieth century the number of Supply Pastors in Pittsburgh and Erie Conferences increased greatly.
The only Supply Pastors included in these records are the following groups:
A. All that were on the conference roll of appointments in 1968.
B. The retired Supply Pastors on the conference roll in 1968.
C. The Methodist Protestant ministers who never achieved conference membership.
D. The Supply years of those who went on to become Conference Members are accounted for.

Editorial Notes:
In this edition we have added the Supply Pastors and their Appointments, which were omitted from the 1968 edition.
We have added Clergy in former Evangelical, Evangelical Association, United Evangelical, United Brethren and Evangelical United Brethren in
Christ denominations, prior to Merger in 1969. All Clergy still alive 1969 are included in the Western Pennsylvania Conference of The United
Methodist Church. Clergy serving local churches since 1974 are assigned an identification (ID) number. These indicate a cross reference
available on the statistics of the local churches they served at the time.
