HARGROVE, Robert Kennon, M. E. bishop, born in Pickens county, Alabama, 17 September, 1829. He was graduated at the University of Alabama in 1852, and was professor of pure mathematics there in 1853-'7. He entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church in the latter year, was president of the Centenary institute in Alabama in 1865-'7. and of Tennessee female college in 1868-'73. In 1882 he was elected a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church.
