Historical Sketches of Iowa Baptists, 1886.

REV. WM. RONEY died at Chicago June 12, 1879, of disease of the heart, aged 64. He was born within the present limits of Philadelphia, September 6, 1815, graduated from Madison University in 1843, and from Hamilton Theological Seminary in 1845 and married to Irene B. Buell in the same year. His first pastorate was with the Hamilton Baptist Church in Ohio. His last pastorate was in the same state. He was pastor at Clinton, Iowa, in 1868 and ’69. The text of his funeral discourse was one of his favorite quotations, repeated with great earnestness on his deathbed; “I know that my Redeemer liveth.”
