JAMES F. ALSTIN* is one of the oldest, as well as one of the most
distinguished of the living ministers of this Association, and is regarded
one of the most eloquent pulpit orators in the Green River country.  He
was baptized at Beaver Dam, by Alfred Taylor.  He was ordained to the
ministry, in 1845, and the same year, took pastoral charge of Salem
church, in Butler county.  He has since been pastor, at different times,
of Beaver Dam, Nelson Creek, Pond Run, Mt. Carmel, Providence and other
churches.  He was clerk of his Association eight years, and has generally
been Moderator, since 1866.  * Died Oct., 4, 1883, in his 64th year.
