History
Henry Flesher Bland (1818-1898) was a Methodist minister. Born in Yorkshire, England, on 1818 August 23, he started as a local preacher at the age of fifteen. He emigrated to Canada in 1858 and entered the ministry of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, serving in Quebec and Eastern Ontario. His pastorates included many of the largest Methodist Churches of that area. In 1881, he was elected President of the Montreal Conference of the Methodist Church of Canada. He died at Smiths Falls on 1898 December 29 and was buried beside his wife in Cataraqui Cemetery. He was survived by five sons, two of whom (Salem and Charles Edward) were Methodist ministers. He was the author of Soul Winning (1883) and Universal Childhood Drawn to Christ (1889).
