A BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE LIFE OF DR. TIMOTHY M. COOLEY, D. D., OF GRANVILLE, MASS., WHO MARRIED CONTENT CHAPMAN. [See No. 131.] "TIMOTHY MATHER COOLEY, D. D., was born at Granville, Mass., March 13, 1773, and was the seventh in descent from Benjamin Cooley of Springfield, and seventh in maternal descent from Rev. Richard Mather of Dorchester. At the age of five years, (in 1778,) he was dangerously sick and given over by physicians. A brother and sister died of the same fever, in one week, and his father at the burial of the latter, looked out a place for another grave, which he supposed would soon be needed for this son. By the blessing of God on the care and simple means used by a pious mother, he was, after many weeks restored to health. This incident gave a shape to his whole future course of life. Being left in frail health, for some years, he was led to form habits of great simplicity in diet, and instead of meats and condiments a simple bowl of milk, with fruit and bread, has through life, formed the principal meal, and he was never confined to his room by sickness, one day, till he had passed the age of fourscore years. "At the age of twelve, being intensely anxious for an education, he procured a grammar and commenced the study of the Latin language without a teacher. His father despairing of seeing him a robust farmer, as he intended, committed him to a private teacher; and, in 1788, he entered Yale College and was graduated with honors in 1792. After graduation he taught a Select School one year, in New Haven, and one in Litchfield. He studied Theology with Rev. Charles Backus, D. D., of Somers, and was licensed in May, 1795, by the Association of New Haven County, and preached the first Sabbath thereafter in his native place of Granville, and then, by previous arrangement, the ensuing summer, in Salisbury, Conn. Receiving a call from both churches, that from Granville was accepted, and he was ordained Feb. 3d, 1796, in a place which had been, for twenty years a moral waste. On May 6, 1796, he was connected in marriage with Content Chapman, only child of Isaac Chapman, who fell in the War of the Revolution, when this daughter was only six months old. "East Granville, though a barren waste for years, by the blessing of God on his own institutions, became a faithful field. During the fifty-eight years which have intervened since the settlement of Dr. Cooley, the church has been blessed with ten precious Revivals of Religion. In 1798, there were seventy hopeful conversions and the Church was doubled. In 1816, especially, in the Bible Class, when there were eighty hopeful conversions. In 1823, was a revival which commenced on New Year's eve, in connexion with a Literary exercise in the School, which resulted in twenty-three hopeful conversions. "Other harvest seasons have been granted, of greater or more limited exBesides the supervision of common schools as town committee for forty-eight years and of Higher Institutions, the greater part of the time, as many as eight hundred pupils received instruction from his lips, of whom more than sixty became ministers of the gospel, against none of whom has there been a report of heresy or immorality. Not a few of his pupils have been members of Congress, Judges, Officers in Colleges and other high places of usefulness. The number of sermons preached by him are about 8,000, having attended about 1,500 Bible Class Lessons." tent. Dr. Cooley has been somewhat distinguished as an author. Publications of his, more than sixty in number, though mostly brief, have come from the press. Among which are the following. In 1794. "Stanzas on the Death of the Printer's Lovely Child." Poem, "The African Slave." "Plea for the Bible," published in Buell & Collins' Paper, at Litchfield. In 1800,"An Historical Sermon." In 1802, "Narrative of the Revival in 1798." (Conn. Evangelical Magazine, Vol. II.) In 1805, "Sermon at the Organization of the Church to settle in Granville, Ohio." In 1808, "Sermon before the Hampshire Missionary Society." In 1810, "A Sermon at the Funeral of Nancy Tinker, a child that died in triumph, and Sermon at the Funeral of Abner De Wolfe, of Williams College." In 1811. "Sermon on the death of Homer Moore, Esq. Sermon at the Ordination of Rev. Elisha Cooke of East Hartford." In 1817. "Sermon before the Hampden Bible and Foreign Mission Society. In 1818.

"A Sermon at the Funeral of Louisa M. Cooley, a child of great interest and promise." Also Sermon at the Funeral of Curtis P. Baker, son of Rev. Joel Baker, and a student at Andover." In 1833.

Two letters " On Permanency in the Pastoral Office." "Funeral Sermon on the deaths of Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Abigail Brown," and also "A dedication Sermon at Becket, Mass." "Dr. Cooley is now (April, 1854) eighty years of age, and still performs all the duties of his Pastorate with efficiency and to the acceptance of his people, among whom he has ministered about fifty-nine years. A rare example, retaining the full possession of his faculties, his eye not dimmed, nor his natural force oblated." "Sano Mens in Sano Corpore." NOTE G. THE LIFE OF REV. ROBERT H. CHAPMAN, D. D., (SEE No. 823,) FURNISHED BY HIS SON, REV. ROBERT H. CHAPMAN, OF TALADEGA, Ala BAMA.* THE subject of this article was the second son of the Rev. Jedediah Chapman, a distinguished minister of the Presbyterian Church, and one of its Fathers in this country. His instrumentality in extending its stretch and influence, was marked and deep. His impress, especially in its missionary features, has been more abiding than that of most of his cotemporaries. He led the van as regards this noble enterprise, in the North-West; the Great Head of the Church blessed his efforts in a signal manner; for he lived to see whole Synods and nameless Presbyteries, serving God and his Church, where he had stood, the solitary pioneer of the General Assembly. The Rev. Jedediah Chapman was a native of East Haddam, Conn., and a graduate of Yale College in the class of 1762. He became a member of the Presbytery of New York, early in his ministry; soon the Pastor of the church of Orangedale, New Jersey. He continued there more than thirty years; after which he removed to Western New York, where he labored for thirteen years. He was the first Pastor of the church of Geneva, and the senior Pastor thereof, at the time of his death in 1814. His second son, the subject of this article, was born at Orangedale, N. J., March 2, 1771. His youth was passed amid the scenes of the Revolution, and almost upon its battle ground; for, as all persons familiar with Revolutionary history know, that portion of the state of New Jersey was strenuously contended for by the This memoir was received after the body of the work was ready for the press, and is therefore unavoidably placed in the Appendix. |
