Rev. David C. Woolpert, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, Butler, 
Ind., was born in Denver, Miami Co., Ind., Dec. 12, 1851, a son of Rev. 
Hosea Woolpert, one of the oldest members of the Northern Indiana Conference, 
now located at Whitewater.  David C. was converted at the age of eight 
years, and early was convinced that he ought to preach, but resisted the 
conviction and studied and practiced medicine for a time.  Finally he 
yielded to the prompting of the Spirit and in the fall of 1875 joined the 
Northern Indiana conference.  His first charge was Decatur, thence in the 
spring of 1876 to Muncie Circuit; in 1878 to Albany Circuit; in 1881 to Lima 
Circuit.  His health failing he went South, and on his return, in April,
1883, was assigned to Butler.  He is an able, eloquent speaker and a 
successful pastor, making many friends wherever he labors. He was married 
May 5, 1872, to Jennie Lash, daughter of Philip Lash.  They have had four 
children, but two are living---Chloe Maud and Carry H.
