PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. 319a " Resolved that a public meeting of the pew-holders be held in the chapel on Tues¬ day evening, 2d March, for the purpose of laying before the whole congregation the subject of the enlargement of the chapel." The meeting was held according to an¬ nouncement, and after a full discussion of the whole subject, a committee was ap¬ pointed to solicit subscriptions to carry on the work. On the 4th of July, 1847, the Rev. Wil ¬ liam Webb died, at the age of forty-four, years, just as he had entered upon the sec¬ ond year of his pastorate in Charlottetown . He was buried by the Rev. Dr. Jenkins , then rector of St. Paul's church, in the old burial- ground, at the entrance of the Malpeque road, where a stone now marks his last rest¬ ing place. In 1847 Rw. William McCarty was stationed at Pownal . The Rev. Charles DeWolfe , afterward the dean of , filled the pastor¬ ate of the Charlottetown circuit for the re¬ mainder of the conference year. The work of enlarging the chapel, begun under Rev. Mr. Webb , was finished during the pastorate of Dr. DeWolfe . The large wing, added on Prince street, completely changed the ap¬ pearance of the building, and the chapel, with its increased accommodation, would seat twelve hundred persons. The "wing" of the old chapel is still standing on the cor¬ ner of Prince and King streets, where it was placed when the building was sold. Another portion of this old chapel, which was being removed by the purchasers, to a site on Queen street for a liquor-store, fell to pieces on the way, so it was stated at the time, as a protest against the uses to which it was intended to be put. In 1848 the Rev. Edmund Botterall as¬ sumed charge of the Charlottetown circuit, and remained there two years. On his re¬ tirement from the active work of the minis¬ try, he removed to Montreal, where he re¬ sided for several years. On the 26th of October, 1893, he was killed in that city by a street-car accident at the age of eighty- two years. The Rev. Henry Pope , Jr., was sta¬ tioned in Pownal in 1849, and remained two years in charge of that circuit. The Rev. Frederick Smallwood entered upon the pastorate of the Charlottetown circuit in July, 1850. His ministrations were signally successful, and under his preaching nearly three hundred persons joined the society. He remained two years in Charlottetown . Rev. Mr. Smallwood possessed a wonderful preaching force, and in the pulpit he had few equals. While at the height of his power, he lost the use of his voice, and was compelled on this account to retire from the active work of the ministry. In 1873 he returned to Charlottetown , where through¬ out the remainder of his declining years he employed himself in visiting the sick, assist¬ ing in ministerial work, and other duties with great acceptance and profit. He died on the 2d of November, 1890, at the age of seventy-eight years. In 1850 Rev. James Buckley was ap¬ pointed to Bedeque and Tryon . In 1851 the Rev. Alexander B . Black succeeded Rev. Mr. Pope in the Pownal circuit and Rev. G. O. Huestis was appointed to Bedeque and Tryon . The Rev. Dr. Ephraim Evans followed Rev. Mr. Smallwood in the pasto.ate of the Charlottetown circuit in 1852. Dr. Evans was not only a scholarly man, and a good preacher, but he was also a thorough pub¬ lic spirited citizen.
