Ministry
A transcription of obituary published in the Primitive Methodist Magazine by B. Fell is attached. He records: “Mr. Martindale was much respected and loved by almost all who knew him. Genial, kindhearted, and affectionate, he necessarily made many friends. He was intensely earnest, had a passion for saving souls, possessed more than ordinary ability, and promised to take rank among the best preachers of the Connexion.”
