FTP, name this editor of the Alton Observer who was killed on November 7, 1837, while defending his printing press from an angry mob.
Before setting up shop at the Godfrey and Gilman Warehouse, he was elected Moderator of St. Louis, where he preached at the "Old Meeting House." His essays became especially virulent after observing the burning at the stake of Francis J. McIntosh, and local resentment forced him to flee east, where he became pastor at the College Avenue Presbyterian Church. Amos Roff is credited for saving this man's followers after his support of the Illinois Anti-Slavery Society led to unrest.
