Cowdy, Samuel

Cowdy, Samuel an Irish Methodist preacher, was born in 1799 in County Down. He gave his heart to God, and his life to Methodism at an early age; entered the itinerant ministry in 1832, and for a quarter of a century preached the gospel with soul-converting power on many Irish circuits. In 1860 he became a supernumerary, but labored as he had strength until his death, June 3, 1880, at Portadown.
