An intelligent working Christian

Liberty Church Cemetery sits at the busy intersection of two country roads in Delaware County, Ohio. The old Liberty Presbyterian Church stands there as well, although the congregation now meets next door in a large, Amish-built barn church.

One of the graves in the church graveyard is that for Robert McCoy Cellar (d. 1861), “an intelligent working Christian.”

He was an intelligent working
Christian, and for many years

And the Spirit and the bride say come and let him

come and whosever will let him take the water of
life freely.

REV. XXII 17.
