Cass County.

REV. EDWIN B.  RANDLE, clergyman, Ashland; was born in Madison
Co., Ill., Dec. 15, 1852, to William S.  and Sarah (Hansbarger)
Randle; he was born in North Carolina, and was brought to
Illinois by his parents when a child; a lawyer by profession, but
conducts a farm also; now resides in Christian County.  His wife,
Sarah, is a native of Kentucky, and came to Illinois when she was
about eighteen years old; she is still living, and is the mother
of seven children, of whom our subject is the oldest.  At the age
of eighteen years, he began teaching, and continued in that
occupation six years.  In the fall of 1878, he joined the
Methodist Conference at Jacksonville, having preached one and a
half years previously.  His first pastoral charge was at Irving,
Montgomery County, where he remained two and a half years, and
then removed to Harristown, Macon County, where he remained two
years, and in the fall of 1881, came to Ashland, where he now has
charge of the Ashland Circuit.  He was married at Harristown,
Ill., Aug. 25, 1881, to Miss Mary Stookey, who was born at
Bloomington, Ill., in August, 1856, to Daniel and Caroline
(Goodner) Stookey, natives of St. Clair Co., Ill., and both still
living.  Mr. Randle has been an active member of the I.O.O.F. for
several years.  He acts as correspondent for the Christian
Advocate, the church paper of the denomination in whose interest
he so zealously works, and his letters and contributions are
able, interesting, and full of the love and grace of the Master,
in whose footsteps he endeavors to tread.
