6 Lee's Life of Lee, p. 380. His biographer, however, supposes he "felt severely" his treatment by
some of the preachers, especially by Lyell, an influential member, who afterward became a
Protestant Episcopal clergyman in New York. P. 378.
7 He died before the next General Conference. His brethren say of him: "A native of North Carolina,
of a respectable family, and His circumstances in life sufficient, with care and improvement, to have
forded him ample support. He was affectionate, fervent, and faithful, gracious, and gifted. He had
a high sense of the rights of men. He labored and traveled extensively from Maryland, in various
circuits in Virginia, North and South Carolina, and even to Georgia. He died happy in God, declaring
with his latest breath, his soul enjoyed peace, peace, victory, victory, complete victory. He has left
a legacy to the Conference, and another to build a house for God in the neighborhood of his nativity.
So lived and so died William Ormond. He fell a martyr to his work during the yellow fever in
Norfork in 1803." -- Minutes of 1804.
8 Lee records nothing on the subject, and Bangs (though be mentions the MS. Journal of the
Conference) seems to have merely followed Lee.
