ELY, Alfred, clergyman, born in West Springfield, Massachusetts, 8 November 1778; died in Monson, Massachusetts, 6 July 1866. He was graduated at Princeton in September 1804, and elected a tutor in that College, where he remained one year. He then returned to West Springfield, entered on the study of theology, was licensed to preach in February 1806, and ordained the following December. His pastorate was remarkable for its success as well as for lasting through his life. He was one of the earliest trustees of Amherst College, and in that office assisted in sustaining the institution in the difficulties and discouragements of its early history. He was elected in 1840 a corporate member of the American board of foreign missions. Several of his sermons have been published.
