1874 In Memory of John Gentle
John Gentle was born in Washington County, Indiana, May 11, 1816, and died at his own residence in Jefferson County, Illinois, November 30, 1874, in the triumphs of a living faith, aged 58 years, 6 months and 19 days.
It was not until the spring of 1871 that he was deeply convicted of sin and saw that he was without God and without hope in the world; but he soon found the Pearl of Great Price, and was happily converted to God, in his own house, about the first of March 1871.  He soon afterwards attached himself to the Methodist Episcopal Church at Black Oak Ridge, Middleton Circuit, Mt. Vernon District, Southern Illinois Conference.  From thence he moved his membership to the Mt. Olivet Society, on the same circuit.  He was then licensed to exhort, by the Rev. W.R.

In the 1990s I was contacted by a descendant of Ezra who said that Ezra lived in Missouri and changed his name to Patrick.  He married Nancy (Boly) Patton and they had seven children:  Myrtle, Ross, Maud, Louise, George, Helen and Alice.

Further, we know that when Patrick Lathrop died a coffin was sent for to Pacific, Missouri, the coffin was hauled from Pacific, Missouri to Eureka, Missouri and Patrick Lathrop's body was prepared for burial by the family and no undertaker was employed; the body was buried at Allenton, Missouri, three miles from Eureka.
