Gideon Ouseley

Background

His father, although a deist, intended that his son enter the clergy, but Ouseley spent much of his childhood in the cabins of peasant neighbours.

Career

Married at age 20, Ouseley led a wild life that dissipated both his own and his wife"s fortunes. After losing an eye when shot in a tavern brawl, a loss that reputedly left him with a frightening appearance, Ouseley left his wild ways behind him. Ouseley preached the gospel, mostly in Ulster, until his death, preaching up to 20 sermons a week.
