Robert Faris (taken from the Marshall County Republican, Henry, Illinois, April 25, 1867)

On the 8th of April in Saratogo, Robert Faris, in the 66th year of his age.  He was born in Ohio county, West Virginia.  Was a child of the covenant, was dedicated to God by his parents in infancy. From early childhood he was the subject of deep religious impression but did not openly profess Christ until he was about 25 years of age.  Sometime after this public profession of religion, he removed to Delaware County, Ohio and connected himself with the Presbyterian church of Delaware.  He as elected a ruling elder of his church and continued to serve in that capacity till he removed with his family to Saratoga township nearly 4 years since, when he united with the Mansfield church.  In this church, he was also elected an elder and continued to serve till called in the providence of God to join the general assembly and the church of the first born whose names are written in heaven.  He was possessed of an active mind and considering a very limited opportunities of education that he enjoyed, he had stored it with great amount of knowledge, both with respect to the truths of the Bible and also with respect to the great religious and political questions of the day.  He was also well acquainted with the principle facts of history, his tenacious memories serving him well at retaining what he had read.  His whole soul was enlisted in the cause of liberty and human freedom and terrible were his denunciations against the slave holders rebellion and had it not been for his age and weakness of body, he would have doubtless have become among the champions of liberty in the field of battle.  Old and weak as he was, he offered his services to the country.  He gave three sons and two son-in-laws to the Union Army.  Two of these died martyrs to the cause of human freedom.  His feelings of sympathy for universal liberty was not spasmodic.  It did not manifest itself for the first time at the breaking out of the war.  It was life long.  He was an out-spoken and anti-slavery man, when the term abolitionist was a stench in the nostrils of the great majority of the people of the north, though he never identified himself with Garrison Phillips faction.  He lived to see the principles that he advocated triumph in the passage by Congress of the military reconstruction bill.
