Dear father, it is hard to part with one so fair as thou. I feel as if my aching heart can find no comfort now.

The Evening Journal (Wilmington DE) 15 Mar 1890 pg 3. Elijah Townsend, colored, told an amusing story of the way things were going on in the house next door. He said that one day he counted twenty-five men and women going into the house. When Mr. Turner asked him whether he would consider the place a nuisance he said he would just tell what he knew, and the court could draw its own conclusions. Elijah is 75 years old, been a preacher for 37 years and yet has never seen such disgraceful scenes.

 

Delaware Gazette and State Journal (Wilmington DE) 26 Feb 1891. Death in the pulpit. Elijah Townsend, a Negro Preacher, drops dead in the A.U.M.P. pulpit.At the church service Sunday night at the A.U.M.P. Mission, Greeley Street, the preacher Elijah Townsend, has just finished his sermon and was taking his seat, when he appeared to drop with unusual celerity into the chair. One of the deacons was at his side immediately when it was discovered that the preacher was dying. In a few moments more he was dead. The tragic incident created the utmost consternation among the congregation, and it was quite a time before the more demonstrative females could be pacified. Officer Updike was successful in calming the agitated people.

Elijah Townsend was an itinerant preacher who effected a great deal of good in the locality where his ministrations were held. He was 68 years old. The old man who was a rag-picker by trade, was well-known around the city and so was his raw-boned mule and old wagon. He lived at the read of No 4 Decatur Street. A wife and five children survive him. He was born at Frederica , Del. on the farm of Samuel  Warren of this place. He came to this city 20 years ago.

Coroner Sparks did not consider it necessary to hold an inquest. The whole congregation were witnesses of the death. The coroner’s certificate was in accordance with the facts; which indicate death from heart disease.

 

The Morning News (Wilmington, DE) 23 Feb 1891. Dead in his pulpit. Tragic death of Elijah Townsend, an aged Negro Preacher.

He had just finished his sermon last night when he was stricken with heart disease and expired before assistance reached him. Elijah Townsend, an old itinerant negro preacher, dropped dead in the A.U.M.P. Mission on Greeley Street last evening, having just finished a sermon. He preached from the thirtieth chapter of Proverbs, and closing the Bible, placed a hand over the region of his heart, reeled and fell into his chair immediately back of the pulpit.

Before aid reached his side life was fast ebbing away and in scarecly a minute’s time he was dead. Consternation spread among the colored congregation and two of the elders rushed to the dying mans’ side. He did not utter a word after he had fallen. Just before the fatal moment, however, he spoke of the gates leading to the city of the Holy Land, and ended his sermon by saying that when the day of judgement came they must all “Hail! Hail! Hail!”. He had just uttered the last “Hail!” when his lips closed upon the words, and these were the last he spoke.

The church of which the preacher was pastor is situated in one of the roughest parts of the city known as the “Hoodle”. Greeley Street, on which the building fronts, is scarcely more than an alley running up from the railroad tracks. On either side is a row of colored house and for twenty years the deceased had lived in the neighborhood and preached at the mission. His home was in a rear of No. 9 Decatur Street.

Preacher Townsend was 70 years of age. He was born at Frederica, and for a long term of years was the slave of Samuel Warren of that place. After he was freed from the bonds of slavery he became converted and for forty years had been a minister of the gospel. He came to Wilmington about twenty years ago, and since that time had been a terror to the colored characters in the neighborhood. He kept a close watch upon all wrongdoers. He aided the police materially during his score of years in the “Hoodle” and the result is that neighborhood is of very little trouble to the authorities.

The deceased leaves a wife and five children. The former stood in the church in company with a number of persons last evening eulogizing the good qualities of the paster. “We’re dare’n touch him or move him”, she said, “until the coroner sees him”

Officer Updyke was summoned from his beat and was one of the first to quiet the agitated congregation. They decided to leave the body in the church and keep guard over it until morning. Several physicians had been summoned but none had yet arrived to learnt he cause of death up to a late hour. It is thought the cause of death was heart disease. The coroner will be notified this morning.
