Rev. Herbert L. Ellsworth
1865 - 1911
Profound sorrow was caused in Norwich [Chenango Co., NY] by the news of the death of Rev. Herbert L. Ellsworth, a former pastor of the Broad Street M.E. Church, who passed away at his home in Binghamton [Broome Co., NY] on Friday morning of last week. Rev. Ellsworth was pastor of the Norwich church in 1908 and 1909 and many residents outside his own church membership had learned to know and appreciate his high ideals and singularly sterling character. As a man and as a preacher he was always fearless and never failed to stand by his convictions. He was one of the foremost preachers in the Wyoming Conference. On account of ill health he was obliged to give up the Norwich pastorate and went to Sanataria Springs. Later he made a trip to Florida and returned much improved. Rev. Mr. Ellsworth suffered from an incurable affection of the heart and some three months ago grew gradually worse and failed slowly until his death. He is survived by his wife and one son, Robert, and by his father, all of whom resided in Binghamton. Funeral services were held Monday and a number of his former Norwich parishioners were in attendance. [Glen Buell collection, Guernsey Memorial Library, Norwich, NY]

The Rev. Herbert L. Ellsworth, A.M., PhD. was born at LeRaysville, Pa., January 13, 1865, and died in Binghamton, N .Y., August 18, 1911. The first sixteen years of his life were spent on his father's farm at LeRaysville, Pa. He taught school three years and entered Wyoming Seminary in 1884, graduating at the head of his class in 1888. He spent two years at Drew Theological Seminary, two years at Syracuse University and completed his college course at Illinois Wesleyan University, receiving his Ph.D. from that institution. He was very thorough in his work, both in school and in the pastorate. November 26, 1901, he was married to May Pembleton, of Tioga Center, N.Y., who survives him, with their one son Robert. He served the following charges in Wyoming Conference: Newark Valley, Little Meadows, Nichols, Meshoppen, Alderson, Ashley, Nanticoke and Norwich. He was an evangelistic preacher of unusual power. As a result great revivals attended his ministry, old debts were paid on church property and churches and parsonages were built or repaired whenever needed on his charges. He believed God and was greatly honored and blessed in his ministry. The funeral services were in charge of the Rev. H.M. Crydenwise, of Binghamton, assisted by the Rev. R.W. Lowry, a lifelong friend, M.D. Fuller and C.M. Surdam. The district superintendent also spoke at the services held at Nichols, N.Y., where the interment was made. Measuring his life by years he lived not long, but by results he passed beyond the span of the average successful minister -- R.W. Lowry.
