How about you all? Found it in a book at the Troy (NY) Public Library; he was included as the pastor of two Presbyterian churches in Rensselaer County. Regards, Susan NEW email: ------------------------- "Van Wie, Charles H., Rev., was born in the town of Ira, Cayuga county, N.Y. October 22, 1851. He was educated in the public schools, Monroe Collegiate Institute, Hamilton College, and was graduated from Auburn Theological Seminary with the degree of B.D. in 1877. Shortly after leaving the Seminary he received a call to Forest church at Lyons Falls, N.Y., where he was ordained to the Gospel ministry and installed by the Presbytery of Utica. After three years he resigned this pastorate and accepted a call to the churches at Williamstown and West Camden, N.Y., where he labored seven years. In December, 1889, he accepted an invitation to supply the Presbyterian church at Melrose [in Rensselaer Co, N.Y.], and was installed as pastor in May, 1890, taking charge also of the Presbyterian church at Tomhamock [sic; spelling is Tomhannock].
