Soldier Preacher Dies in Portland Michigan
A traveling minister known as a soldier preacher died after a journey through western states and arriving in Portland Michigan. He was picked up by a wealthy seeming man, invited to stay, and learned that the host was a bootlegger who supplied liquor. The elderly man received money and moved on, having spent years roaming from spring to fall while carrying a Bible and tracts. He was once associated with Danby township and linked to Pryor and Phillips families.
