W. M. Choice was readmitted (to the conference Jan 31, 1849). Mr. Choice was born in Hancock County, Ga., in January, 1800; was admitted into the Georgia Conference in 1832; served the Leon Circuit in 1833 and 1831, the St. Mary's District from 1837 to 1839, Jacksonville District in 1810 and 1811;
located and was supply on the Tallahassee Station in 1812 and 1813. During this period there was a wonderful revival, and many of our members there today are either converts or children of converts of that revival.
From his readmission until his death he was a useful and faithful preacher. He was a stout man with florid complexion, and a powerful voice. It is said that in preaching his farewell sermon in St. Mary's he exclaimed, "You may never hear my
feeble voice again,' though that voice was heard two miles. He was earnest and had many seals to his ministry.
Passing from us in 1855, he said: "I am going to die, but I am ready."
