Excerpt from Services in Memory of the Rev. Eben Halley, D. D: By the Presbytery of Troy and the Second Street Presbyterian Church, Thursday Evening, December 5, 1895 The outward facts of his life are few and may be written in a few lines. He was born in Salem, N. Y., on the 7th of January, 1845. His boyhood days were spent in Troy. His preparatory education, aside from that which he re ceived in his home, was obtained in the Albany Academy. He was graduated at Williams College in 1864. For a year previous to his graduation he carried the musket of a private soldier in the Army of the Republic, having enlisted in the One Hundred and Seventy-seventh New York Volunteers. His theological education was obtained at Princeton. He began preaching in a home missionary church in Richmond, Vt. In 1869 he was ordained and installed as pastor of a Congregational Church in Cincin nati. In 1878 he was called to the Congregational Church in Binghamton, N. Y., and here he soon afterward brought his bride, the beloved wife and most helpful companion and inspiration of his ministerial labors. In November, 1886, he began his ministry in this Second Street Presby terian Church of Troy. Last June he was transferred to the right hand of God in the Glory Everlasting.
