Bellah, Morgan

Bellah, Morgan a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, was born in Oglethorpe County, Ga., Nov. 24, 1799.

He joined the North Georgia Conference in 1833 and labored faithfully within its bounds until 1869, when he was superannuated. He died in Barnesville, Ga., March 26, 1880. He was a practical, earnest preacher, a safe expositor, and a spiritual exhorter. His manner was dignified and serious, his spirit humble and meek, his life true, loving, and pure.
