The prospects for growth are good. Two more large factories are to be built in the village and a large and immediate increase in population may be expected. To meet the needs of the future a larger church is necessary and efforts are being made to raise funds to build one.

CHAPTER XVIII.
TRINITY PARISH.
D URING the ministry of the Rev. Dr. J. L. Clark in St. John's parish, the population of the town increased from about 2500 to over 20,000, and the number of families in the parish from 130 to 480. For some time previous to the burn- ing of the church, in 1868, it was felt that there was no room for growth, and one of the first questions in planning a new church was, what should be its size. The gallery slips had been sold for several years preceding this period. The desirability of a new parish had already been discussed, so that the idea was familiar, and after due deliberation it was decided that the new church should be no larger than the 'old one (in fact it contained fewer sittings), and that as soon as possible measures should be taken to organize a new parish. On December 15, 1872, a meeting of St. John's parish was called to consider the subject. The language of this call is so indicative of the spirit in which the subject was regarded that it is worth quoting:
"The members of St. John's parish are requested to hold an informal meeting in this chapel on Sunday evening, December 15, 1872, at a quarter past eight, for the purpose of consultation in regard to taking the preliminary steps for the formation of a new parish, if deemed advisable. All persons not members of the parish, who are attendants at the usual services of the church, are earnestly invited to be present."
A committee of six was appointed at this meeting to report at an adjourned meeting to be held a week later. This committee reported that they were "unanimously of the opinion that a necessity exists for such a movement, and the only question arising is whether the present is the time, or whether it should be delayed until our present church edifice is completed and paid for," and in view of all the circumstances the committee recom- mended postponement. The report is unanimously concurred in, although it is added that "some members of the committee

have felt called upon to yield their former opinions for the sake of the general welfare" (meaning that they preferred immedi- ate action).
The cost of the new church was so heavy that it did not seem possible to do anything more at that time. The project was, however, by no means abandoned, and it may be said to have constituted from this time forward one of the plans of the parish.
Dr. Clark was in full sympathy with this movement, and did not allow it to be lost sight of. A meeting of the parish was called for further consideration, February 9, 1874, and the rector presented "a paper of great interest in regard to his work during the last twenty years." It was a statistical comparison of this parish with several of the larger parishes in the state, showing the progress that had been made and the propriety of adopting a still more aggressive policy. At the annual parish meeting, April 6, 1874, a proposal was made by the senior warden, S. M. Bucking- ham, who had now become the owner of the temporary chapel, with reference to the use of that building for a new parish, if one could be organized, or as a mission chapel, if it should be thought best to begin in that way. But the action was postponed; the parish could not yet see the way clear to meet the expense.
The death of Samuel W. Hall occurred on March 5, 1877. He left by his will $15,000, to accumulate for five years and then to be used for the building of a church as a memorial to his wife, the building to be of stone, and the sittings to be free. This bequest seemed to make the way clear for the new movement, and at the meeting held on Easter Monday, April 2, 1877, a com- mittee reported that $2000 had been pledged for the annual expenses of a new parish, and that fifty-two families had consented to join the same.
In this connection the following letter from the Bishop is worth preserving:
To the Rector and Vestrymen of St. Johns' Parish, Waterbury, Conn .:
My dear Brethren:
Under provisions of Canon XII. of Connecticut I hereby notify you of the application just received by me for the formation of a new parish within the limits of the existing parish of St. John's, Waterbury.
163
.
HISTORY OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.
I warmly congratulate all the good people of the parish on the admirable way in which the proposed parish has been started.
And am affectionately yours,
MIDDLETOWN, April 11, 1877.
J. WILLIAMS, Bishop of Conn.
On behalf of those interested in the new enterprise a request was made that St. John's parish furnish $15,000 towards purchas- ing a lot and building a church. A committee was appointed on behalf of St. John's to confer with a committee of those who desired to form a new parish, in relation thereto. This committee reported in favor of giving to the new parish $1500 for the next year, and $1000 a year for four years thereafter, or until the new parish should have erected a church edifice. At the next parish meeting it was reported that this offer had been accepted, and that a new parish would be formed as soon as the necessary permission could be obtained. The clerk announced the names of the follow- ing persons, nineteen in number, as giving notice of their with- drawal from St. John's for the purpose of forming the new parish :
Nathan Dikeman, Rufus E. Hitchcock, Edward L. Frisbie, Edward C. Lewis, Aner Bradley, John S. Castle, Charles J. Pier- pont, Jr., Herbert P. Camp, James E. Coer, Frank E. Castle, Thomas R. Taylor, Samuel P. Williams, Joshua K. Smith, Edward D. Steele, Joseph P. Merriman, John W. Smith, Samuel Booth, William W. Bonnett, Frederick H. LaForge.
At a meeting held May 24, 1877, it was voted "that the treas- urer be directed to pay the amounts appropriated to Trinity (the new) parish." The treasurer and agent were also authorized to borrow money for the expenses of the parish. A year afterward, at a meeting held May 23, 1878, a communication was received from Trinity parish to the effect that their financial condition and prospects were such that they would not need to call for the payment of the sum pledged to them for the coming year. And nothing more under that pledge was paid, a similar notice being given in each of the succeeding three years. The new parish took from the old many young people active in church work, and immediately entered upon a prosperous career.
While the old parish was of necessity reduced by this "swarm-

ing" process, both in numbers and in strength, the separation was simply the natural result of the growth of the church and the town. It took place with the utmost harmony and good will, and marked no line of varying opinion, ecclesiastical or otherwise.
At a meeting held May 22, 1877, the parish was formally organized and the name "Trinity" adopted. The following officers were elected:
Wardens, R. E. Hitchcock, J. W. Smith.
Clerk, E. T. Root.
Vestrymen, E. L. Frisbie, J. S. Castle, Nathan Dikeman, A. O. Shepardson, E. C. Lewis, S. P. Williams, the Rev. F. T. Russell, E. D. Steele, J. C. White, F. E. Castle.
The Rev. Mr. Russell was requested to take spiritual charge of the parish until a rector could be secured. The building on Grand Street formerly used as a Universalist chapel was leased for five years, and the opening service, conducted by Mr. Russell, was held on Trinity Sunday, 1877. The Rev. Richard W. Micou was soon after chosen rector, and held the position for fifteen years.
Soon after the organization of the parish, steps were taken with reference to the building of a church, and subscriptions were begun. A list printed about this time, of persons connected with the parish, has the names of 131 heads of families, and seventeen single persons, not included in any of the families. In selecting a site for the new edifice, attention was at first directed to the lot on Leavenworth Street owned by St. John's parish, and on July 17, 1880, St. John's voted to sell this lot to Trinity parish for $7000. But after considerable discussion the lot on Prospect Street on which the church stands, was chosen, and was purchased in December, 1881, from Charles B. Merriman for $16,000. The corner stone was laid by Bishop Williams, May 21, 1883 .* The first services in the new edifice were held May 18, 1884.
* In the copper box placed in the corner stone were deposited the names of the officers of the parish, of the architect and contractors, a copy of the contract, a Bible, prayer book and hymnal, diocesan journal for 1883, a catalogue of St. Margaret's School, a church almanac for 1883, a full set of coins of 1883, parish reports for 1883, a full set of the previous reports as given in the parish paper, a photograph of the elevation of the building, etc. The responses were sung throughout and the music was heartily rendered by the large choir present, accompanied by a large cabinet organ.
165
HISTORY OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.
On Easter Sunday, 1886, the offertory was sufficient to cancel the remaining debt (about $4000), and the church was conse- crated by Bishop Williams, May 27.
The building is of Plymouth granite, with broken surface, the caps, sills and belt being of the same material, with cut surface. The outside dimensions, the Sunday School-room being included, are about 135 feet by 65; in 1900 a parish house was added, making the whole length about 160 feet. The stone spire is eighty-five feet high, and the sittings number about 530. It is of Gothic architecture; the architect was Henry M. Congdon. The cost of the church and lot was somewhat over $70,000, of which Samuel W. Hall's gift, with the accumulations, paid $22,500, G. W. Burn- ham's gift $10,000, and the parishioners of St. John's about $5000, and the remainder was raised by subscriptions in the parish.
Trinity Church is a memorial of Mrs. Samuel W. Hall, and this fact is recorded on a tablet in the chancel:
In memoriam. Mrs. Nancy Austin Hall, Born April 13, 1815. Died February 8, 1868. To perpetuate her memory this tablet is erected by the last will and testament of her husband, Samuel W. Hall, to whose generous bequest this church owes in large part its erection in this year of grace, 1883.

A chancel window in memory of Samuel W. Hall was con- tributed by the ladies of the parish. A window in memory of Dr. Clark was contributed by the Sunday schools of St. John's church. A window, the gift of Mrs. J. M. L. Scovill, is a memorial of her children, Thomas.C. Morton, who died February 13, 1876, aged 43, J. M. L. Scovill, Jr., who died July 9, 1862, aged 11 years, and Sarah A. Whittlesey, who died December 15, 1877, aged twenty-five years. A rose window commemorates Almon Farrel. A part of Mr. Burnham's gift of $10,000 was used in purchasing the organ, and in the north transept is placed a memorial tablet with the following inscription :
In memory of Maria Louisa Brownell, wife of Gordon W. Burnham and daughter of the Right Reverend Thomas C. Brownell, the third Bishop of Connecticut. Born in New Haven, Conn., June 5, 1824, died in the city of New York, October 5, 1883.
167
HISTORY OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.
In her home, loving and beloved; to those without, quiet and gracious; the friend of the sorrowful; the helper of the needy; a steadfast disciple of the Lord. She rests from her labors, and her works do follow her.
The eagle lectern, the gift of the Rev. F. T. Russell, is inscribed: "In memoriam Sigourney Russell obit 1880." The altar cross was given by Mrs. A. I. Upson, "In memoriam Ambrose Ives Upson, died July 7, 1879." The baptismal font, "In loving memory of the Rev. Jacob Lyman Clark, D.D.," is from "the children of Trinity Church." The altar and reredos were the gift of R. E. Hitchcock, who gave also a chancel window, inscribed: "In memoriam Agnes Dubois, wife of Rufus E. Hitchcock, born September 2, A. D. 1831. Entered into rest January 11, 1886." A chancel window, the gift of Mr. Hitchcock's daughter and her husband (Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Northrop), reads: "In memoriam Rufus Edward Hitchcock, born June 19, 1821. At rest June 18, 1888. First Senior Warden of this parish." The books, altar cloths, clock and chancel furniture are also gifts from various friends, mostly ladies connected with the parish.
The erection of such a church was a great undertaking for a new society, largely made up of young men, most of whom were dependent on their own exertions for all they had, and it was not accomplished without much effort and self-denial. But the rapid growth and the financial success of the parish prove that the free church system is adapted to a congregation of moderate means in a growing manufacturing town. The current expenses were met from the start, although the parish was burdened with an annual rental of $700 for the church building used for the first seven years. The congregation, which now numbers over four hundred families, could be but poorly accommodated in the 110 pews of the church, were they rented, or assigned to definite families.
The parish record for the twenty-eight years to 1905, shows 1295 persons baptized, 833 confirmed, 622 marriages, and 966 burials. The Sunday school has 400 scholars, and the number of communicants is 843.
In April, 1893, the parish purchased a rectory on North Willow Street, which stands on the ground spoken of in the account of
168
TRINITY PARISH.
St. John's parish, as the probable birthplace of the Rev. James Scovil, the first resident rector of the Episcopal church in Water- bury. August 25, 1900, they exchanged this for the building next north of the church.
Societies for carrying on the institutional work of the Parish are: Altar Guild, Babies' Branch of Junior Auxiliary, Junior Auxiliary, Young Women's Guild, Girls' Calisthenic Club, Boys' Club, Women's Missionary Society, St. Elizabeth Guild, Parish Sewing School, Elocution Class, Sight Singing Class.
THE REV. R. W. MICOU.
Richard Wilde Micou, the first rector, the sixth child of Wil- liam C. and Anna D. Micou, was born in New Orleans, La., June 12, 1848. The family is of Huguenot extraction, descended from Paul Micou, a lawyer of Nantes, France, who settled in Virginia soon after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
His college education was much interrupted by the disturbed state of the South during the Civil War, but he spent three years at the State Universities of Georgia and Alabama, and afterwards studied at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, where, in 1868, he took the highest honors in the classics, under Professor John Stuart Blackie. His theological training was carried on at the University of Erlangen, Bavaria. He was ordained to the diacon- ate of the Protestant Episcopal church at Sewanee, Tenn., June 12, 1870, by Bishop Green of Alabama, and was advanced to the priesthood in his first parish, at Franklin, La., November 15, 1872, by Bishop Wilmer. In 1874 he took charge of St. Paul's church at Kittanning, Penn., and in July, 1877, accepted a call to the rectorship of Trinity church in this city, and took charge of the parish seven weeks after its organization.
Mr. Micou served from 1883 to 1891, with the exception of one year, as a member of the City board of education, in which position he pursued a course calculated to win the gratitude of all who desire thoroughness and consistency in public instruction. He was conspicuous for his faithfulness as a school visitor and as a member of the committee on text-books and teachers during the entire period.
169
13
HISTORY OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH.
In June, 1892, Mr. Micou accepted a call to the professorship of systematic theology and apologetics in the Philadelphia Divinity school. The Church Standard spoke of him at that time as follows: "He finds himself in so thoroughly sympathetic accord with the faculty, and is so fully satisfied of the large usefulness which lies before the school, that he has resolved to cast in his lot with them. Professor Micou is in the prime of life, and although he is a scholar of distinction and a man of mature thought, still re- tains all of the vigor of youth, and will enter on his work with great enthusiasm.
In 1898 he accepted the chair of Systematic Divinity and apologetics in the Episcopal Seminary at Alexandria, Va.
In May, 1872, Mr. Micou married Mary Dunnica, of New Or- leans. They have had six children, three of whom are living.
The Rev. Frederick Dashiels Buckley, the present rector, was born at Fishkill, N. Y., in 1855. He received his early education at the East Greenwich (R. I.) academy, and graduated at Trinity college in 1884. He studied theology at the Berkeley Divinity school, and was ordained deacon June 1, 1887, and priest March 23, 1888.
He was rector of Grace Church, Stafford Springs, from 1887 to 1889, and of St. Andrew's Church, St. Johnsbury, Vt., from 1889 to 1892. He officiated for the first time as rector of Trinity Church on October 1, 1892.
On June 16, 1887, he married Nellie A. Partridge of Providence, R. I. They have two children.
A Parish house was built in 1900 and dedicated by the Bishop of the Diocese May 24, 1902. The house with furnishings cost about fourteen thousand dollars, and the value of the entire property to-day is about $175,000, free of all indebtedness.
New memorial windows have been added and an endowment begun.
The Parish has received since 1900 a bequest of $10,000 from Edward F. Lewis; from E. C. Lewis $1000; from Ann N. Comber . $250; from Lillian Redfern $150; from Mrs. A. C. Northrop, to establish the A. C. Northrop fund $1000; from Mrs. Hannah Terrell $1,000.
