Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life of Rev. Henry Williams, D.D: Late Pastor of the Gilfield Baptist Church, Petersburg, Virginia, With Ceremonies Incident to His Death, and to the Erection of a Monument to His Memory Rev. Henry Williams was born in Spottsylvania County, Virginia, October 13th, 1831. When quite young he was carried to the State of Ohio, where he spent his youth. While a youth, he was possessed of a desire to visit Africa. Perfecting his plans, without the knowledge of his parents, he sailed for the continent of Africa. His voyage, as he often stated, was fraught with misgivings, with perils and hardships. His stay in Africa was brief. He became homesick a short time after his arrival, and determined to make use of the first opportunity which presented itself to return home. In endeavoring to board the ship, he narrowly escaped drowning or being devoured by sharks. He stated: "I was taken to the ship in a row boat manned by some of the natives. On reaching the ship, my manner of getting aboard was to be by climbing a rope which was suspended from the ship´s deck, and reaching to the row boat. Just as soon as I had cleared the boat, the rowers pulled from under me, and there I was, dangling between the sky and the sea, with hungry sharks awaiting my fall. I finally succeeded in getting aboard, considerably frightened." He reached America after a very stormy voyage, and shortly after reaching home he professed the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ, and began the study of the ministry. He attended the schools at his home only, never having attended any college, and was in reality a self-made man. He taught school at one time with remarkable success. During his ministry as a missionary, he traveled extensively on foot, some days making as long a journey as forty miles.
