"1818.Marriage Notes (Rebecca Emerson)
Rev. Ephraim Wiley came from the Conference of 1818, and labored here two years. This was his first appointment in the Conference ; he had previously labored under the presiding elder, three years at Melrose, Mass., where the Lord greatly blessed his efforts in the salvation of souls. Among the converts was Rev. Frederick Upham, D.D., whom Brother Wiley received on trial in the church. In his first year on this circuit, there was some interest in Truro, where about twenty professed conversion ; but in Wellfleet the life of the church ran low.
1819.
In August of his second year, the first camp-meeting on the Cape was held in South Wellfleet, where " the power of God was displayed among the people ; " and glorious revivals in Provincetown and Eastham followed. Some attended this meeting out of curiosity: such a gathering and such power were to them new things. But, while they were looking on the strange proceedings, the Holy Spirit arrested them; and they went home deeply convicted. This was especially true of some from Eastham, where, up to this time, no Methodist minister had been allowed to work. The convictions received at the camp-meeting wrought first distress, then liberty through Christ. From the testimonies of these converts, others were led in the same path to conversion ; and so the work of God went on, until Brother Wiley was invited to preach to them the word of life, and conduct their meetings. Many opened their homes and hearts to receive the messengers of God ; and he labored hard and successfully. A class was formed, and the numbers so increased that Eastham was made an appointment on the Wellfleet Circuit the next year. An increase of one hundred and sixty-two members was reported at the next Conference, and most of the converts were in Eastham.
Brother Daniel L. Rich was converted in Truro, in February of this year. He soon joined the Wellfleet church, and has been an active and useful member ever since.
A young brother by the name of Homer — his full name we have not learned — was present at this first camp-meeting, and remained in Wellfleet, preaching occasionally, and assisting the pastor as he could, until the following October. Then, in company with Brother Wiley, he took passage for Boston, with Capt. Joseph Higgins, in " The New Packet," loaded with oysters, in which the trade in Wellfleet was quite extensive. Capt. Higgins was considered an excellent pilot, but he made a mistake this time, and ran his vessel upon Minot's Ledge ; and she went down in a very few minutes. Brother Wiley, the captain, and two others were saved. Brother Homer and three others were lost.
Ephraim Wiley was more than an ordinary man ; a sweet singer, a popular, and at the same time a sound, preacher. With his peculiar social qualities, he gained the good-will of all with whom he associated, and led many to the Saviour. He labored for about twenty-five years in the New England and Maine Conferences, when, in 1839, he was compelled by failing health to take a superannuated relation. In Jackson, La., whither he had removed a few years before to reside with his son, he fell asleep, Sept. 30, 1864, aged seventy-six years." 59

Ephraim Emerson Wiley: "Born Oct. 6, 1814, near Boston, Mass. Son of Rev. Ephraim Wiley, a member of the New England Conference. His mother was Rebecca Emerson Wiley of the Concord Emersons. Educated at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., from which he graduated in 1837. In 1839 he became Professor of Ancient Languages in Emory and Henry College, Va. Succeeded Dr. Charles Collins as President of Emory and Henry College in 1852 and served as Professor or President for forty years; and was for five years President of Martha Washington College, Abingdon, Va. Admitted on trial into Holston Conference 1840. It is said that he never missed a roll call at Conference and never left until Conference adjourned. He was the most eminent man in Holston Conference for fifty years and was one of the eminent men of the Southern Methodist Church for many years. He was a member of ten successive sessions of the General Conference. He was recognized as one of the great preachers of the South. Although a son of New England he became an ardent Southerner; and was perfectly loyal to the Southern Methodist Church. He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Elizabeth Hammond, of Middletown, Conn. His second wife was Miss Elizabeth Reeves, of Washington County, Tenn., to whom he was married Oct. 3, 1870. They had three children, one of whom, Dr. E. E. Wiley, is a Methodist preacher, and a grandson bearing the same name is also a Methodist preacher. He died March 13, 1893, at Emory, Va., and was buried there. [Ref: Sketches Of Holston Preachers]
