Biographical Sketch of James S. Gash.
Born:  Kentucky, 1833
Died:  Illinois, 1909.

Mr. Gash turned to the Lord at the age of thirty.  He began preaching at
once.  His ministry was confined to the Military Tract.  For many years he
led the singing in his home church in Macomb.  At the time of his death he
had united more people in wedlock than any minister in McDonough County. 
He was a brotherly man of sweet spirit and a consecrated and helpful
Christian.  His end came by apolexy [sic].  The democracy of the gospel
was well illustrated in his spirit and life.
