Notes
General:
"1856.
1857.
Through the next Conference year, a good, healthy interest prevailed and increased, while Rev. E. K. Colby was pastor [at Wellfleet]. His social qualities, rather than his pulpit utterances, made him quite popular, and gave him power over the people. He knew how to make everybody at home in his presence ; and he was familiar with all. He had a Christian experience, and considerable information gained mostly from observation ; and he was plainly the servant of God among this people. In his second year there was an extensive revival, in which many were converted. Some good accessions to the church came from this work.
E. K. Colby was born at Epping, N.H., in 1812, and converted in 1832. In 1844 he joined the Maine Conference, and labored in its ranks till 1855, when he was transferred to the Providence Conference. In 1863 he again returned to Maine ; and is now (1876) stationed at Kennebunk Depot." 1
