Notes:
From Jonas Galusha, the Fifth Governor of Vermont, by Rev. Pliny
H. White, 1866:
" In 1811 and 1812, Elon studied law with Hon. Richard Skinner but, becoming a
Christian, he turned his attention to the study of Theology, became a Baptist
minister, and soon was known as an eloquent and effective preacher. His
first settlement was in Whitesboro, N.Y. in 1816, and he continued there sixteen
years. During a part of that time, he was an agent for Columbia College,
D.C., and had great success in raising funds for it. He was among the most
active of the founders of Hamilton Theological Seminary and spent about a year
in its service. In 1832, he became pastor of the Broad Street Baptist
Church in Utica, went thence to Rochester and, at a later period, was for
several years pastor in Perry. In 1840, he visited England on behalf of a
philanthropic enterprise in which he was interested. In 1841, he became
pastor in Lockport and continued there until his death. He was a man of
fine pulpit talents, of gentlemanly manners, of an eminently benevolent spirit,
and of distinguished usefulness in his denomination. His remarkable
success in procuring donations for religious and charitable purposes gained him
the sobriquet - King of Beggars."
