Joseph Badger 1757–1846 was the first missionary to be sent to the Connecticut Western Reserve.1 He served in the Continental Army received a degree from Yale and was sent to Ashtabula County by the Connecticut Missionary Society in 1802. He retired in about 1833 after many years of organizing schools and churches around the Western Reserve plus a stint as a brigade chaplain during the War of 1812.<br /> <br /> Abigail Ely was Badger’s second wife; they married in 1819. The two write here to a widowed friend Harriet Lyon and her children in Gustavus Ohio. They discuss the importance of singing to religious work and of teaching children to sing and describe their living situation—on a farm nearby to some of their children who help them out. They also briefly complain about the quality of ministry in the area writing that the situation:<br /> <br /> “is exceedingly dark; one Church has a Minister worse than none; Six others have no Minister. . Much of the preaching that comes along occationally is calculated to excite the super-ficial affections of the mind without reaching the heart or enlightening the understanding.â€<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Ohio and religion in the Western Reserve.<br /> <br /> 1 “Badger Joseph†in Encyclopedia of Cleveland History accessed March 20 2025 https://case.edu/ech/articles/b/badger-joseph. unknown
