Historia biográfica

The Reverend James McKendree Reiley (1817-1897), son of the Reverend James Reiley, was born on March 8, 1817 at Broad Top Mountain, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Reiley was given a license to preach by the church in September of 1840. After his father's death in 1841, James McKendree was appointed to take over his father's work on the Saint Mary's Circuit, thus beginning his experience in the itinerancy. He travelled to Virginia in the spring of 1842 and resumed his school work until 1844. Reiley was admitted on trial in 1844 with the Baltimore Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The same conference placed him in full connection in 1846 and ordained him an elder in 1848. Reiley is known in Methodist history as the person who secured the necessary legislation to organize the colored conferences into separate organizations. He was twice transferred from the Baltimore Annual Conference, but returned to finish out his ministerial career. Reiley died on June 2, 1897 in Baltimore, Maryland.

Área de contenido y estructura

Alcance y contenido

The collection is primarily composed of records from the nineteenth century. The bulk of the material belongs to James McKendree Reiley ( 1880-1891). Two manuscripts, one handwritten and the other published, chronicles the life and ministry of James Reiley. The researcher should be aware that the handwritten manuscript does not match the printed one in content. The difference can be subtle at times. Other record types document the broader family history.
