Rev. Rodney Viets, son of Rev. Jesse and Dolly Ann (Saxton), was born at St. Albans, Vt., June 16, 1806; removed with his parents to Amboy, O., in 1823, and married, in 1829, Lucinda H. Wood, born at Conneaut, Pa., March 28, 1808. Both died the same year, 1887, the wife, Feb. 28th, the husband, Nov. 20th.
The following sketch of Rev. Rodney Viets is from the pen of his daughter, Mrs. D.H. Gaylord: Mr. Viets was, like his father, a pioneer preacher. At the age of twenty-one he was a prominent member of the M.E. Church, a class-leader, and an active exhorter. Soon after that, however, when the wave of reformation swept over the Western Reserve and adjacent states led by the Campbellites, and those who pleaded for a return to primitive Christianity, he became deeply interested, and was more thoroughly convinced that he had learned the way more perfectly. He met with opposition, yet never afterwards regretted his final decision.
In his obituary is this tribute: "Elder Vliets, in his chosen field of thought, was a man of more than ordinary powers. His forte was the gospel, to which he devoted heart, brain, and purse. The Disciples of Geneva owe him a debt of love for the

hundred of dollars, he gave them in their first efforts there. He united with the Disciples fifty years ago, when such a step covered the heretic with contempt; but he lived to see the church of his choice number a membership of 700,000, among whom are scholars, authors, editors, generals, senators, and a president of the nation. He was a hated, original abolitionist, and lived to see his wildest dreams on that subject more than realized in the extinction of American slavery. He held gently the reins of family government, was true to temperance principles, loyal to God, to his country, his church, and his friends, and, we believe, his supreme hope is now realized in eternal life."
Mr. Viets' wife shared with him their pioneer life, and, by her industry and economy, assisted in securing a competency for their old age. Having nobly filled the place of mother, wife, and friend, she died a righteous life.
