Medina, N.Y., 12 June 1849, by Rev. C. N. Chandler, Baptist, to Warham Mudge, a minister of the Baptist Church, son of Richrd and Lucy (Lee) Mudge, of Guilford, N.Y., where he was born 27 Sept. 1823. The Mudge Memorial, pp. 159-60, says of him: "He resided with his father until his eighteenth year, when, prompted by a desire to preach the gospel, he went to reside with his brother, Colby, in the town of Kendall, Orleans Co., N.Y. Here he attended a select school two years, during which time he made a profession of religion; after which he entered Hamilton Theological Seminary, which, while he remained there, became Madison University. After three years' study, he began to preach, and was ordained as past of the First Baptist Church in Kendall, March 22, 1849, and remained its pastor till Jan. 8, 1851, when he was appointed missionary to the district of Tonawanda, N.Y. His health failing him, he resigned this charge the first year, and afterwards preached in the town of Carlton, [from March 1852 till Nov. 1853]; then in the town of Horse Heads, Chemung Co., where he preached four years, during which time he baptized nearly one hundred converts. Receiving a call from the Baptist church in Palmyra, he entered upon that pastorate in 1855 [should be 1857], and preached here five years, and baptized nearly one hundred more. On the breaking out of the Southern Rebellion, induced by patriotic motives, he resigned his charge and entered the army as chaplain of the 138th Regiment of N.Y. Volunteers, September 1861, and served upwards of two years; was discharged on account of his health, and returned to Palmyra, where he resided on his farm till February 1866, when he sold it, and removed to the town of Wilson, Niagara Co., N.Y., where he now resides as pastor of the Baptist church." In 1870, they moved from Wilson to Nunda, N.Y.; and in 1873, to Olean, N.Y., where he was pastor of the Baptist Church in Feb. 1875.
