  Obituary from Minutes of the Wesleyan Methodist Conference 1886
  
  LEVI WATERHOUSE who was born near New Mills ,
  Derbyshire, in 1811. His mother’s religious influence was
  gratefully acknowledged by him in his after life. He joined the
  Church in 1829. Yielding to the Divine call. He offered himself
  for the Ministry, and was sent to the Warringtom Circuit in
  1835. His preaching was rich in evangelical truth, and many
  conversions took place under the word. He laboured to dis-
  charge all the duties of his calling, and was a faithful minister
  of Jesus Christ. In all his Circuits God gave him the hearts
  of the people. He was greatly beloved out side our own Church;
  ministers and people held his name in honour. His piety was
  deep and constant. He was a man of prayer, and drew his
  power from Divine sources. The latest scene of his public
  effort was the Prayer-meeting. Even when his faculties were
  failing his prayers were mighty, and had power with God. He
  became a Supernumerary in 1880. The last few months of his
  life were passed under a deep mental cloud, but God was with
  him. That which had been his constant thought for many
  years still possessed him, and he was restlessly anxious to do
  the work of the Lord. The cloud was not permitted to remain.
  God mercifully released His servant. He died at Southport, on
  April 6th, 1886, in the seventy-fifth year of his age, and the
  fifty-first of his ministry.
