Rev. Nathaniel Conklin was for many years a most zealous and successful minister of the Presbyterian Church in Coshocton county. He studied at Princeton, New Jersey, preached for some ten years at Frankfort, Sussex counts in that state, and came to this county about 1834. He labored at Coshocton, Keene, Clark (where he organized the church), West Carlisle, and near Warsaw (where he organized the church), in the days of the feebleness of all the churches in this region.
After leaving Coshocton county, about 1844, he labored for a time at Muskingum church, near Dresden. He then removed to Indiana, taking charge of the Covington church in that state. Broken by his missionary labor he returned to his old home state, and, as he was able, supplied some churches there.
He died in 1866. His wife died in 1837, and lies in the Keene churchyard; and a son born while he labored at Keene, Rev. N. W. Conklin, is now pastor of a large and vigorous church in New York city.
