During the last illness of the Rev. Mr. Snowden, Bishop Potter visited him with the tenderest affection and ministered to him in his last sickness. There was a large number of clergy present at the funeral and "the Rev. Dr. Mason, who had known the Rev. W. E. Snowden during forty years of his forty-seven in the ministry, paid a beautiful tribute to his life; and Bishop Potter, who held the deceased Rector in high esteem, also paid a glowing tribute to his memory." He was tenderly mentioned in the New York Journal of Convention, both by Bishop Potter and by the Assistant Rector of St. John's Church, Cornwall. There were also numerous press notices of the deceased, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, his old parish in the South, sent resolutions of loving remembrance to the family of the deceased.
The following is from the resolutions passed by the Arch- deaconry of Orange, immediately after the funeral, and pub- lished in the "Churchman" of New York :
"Mr. Snowden had completed nearly forty-seven and a half years of active labors in the ministry before his last illness. A naturally delicate constitution had in him been so strengthened

by good care and right living, that he was enabled to continue his work with great effectiveness, and was only compelled to forego his public ministrations for five Sundays before he was taken to his final rest.
"The larger part of Mr. Snowden's ministry was exercised in the diocese of North Carolina. In coming among us some years ago, he brought with him an already ripe experience in the work of winning souls to Christ, which with a high degree of scholarly culture, a nature of great refinement, a gentle and kindly spirit, of shrinking sensitiveness, but of the warmest affection, endeared him greatly to those who knew him well, and made his life a bright example of exalted Christian char- acter. His deep piety and his devotional spirit were beautifully witnessed to in the services of his Church into which they had transfused themselves ; there was breathed into them a spirit of true worship which realized the highest idea of the communion of the soul with God."
REV. JOHN HENRY ROGERS.
John Henry, a son of Horatio and Susan (Curtis,) Rogers, was born Jan. 4, 1834, at Providence, R. I .; died at New Britain, Conn., Jan. 23, 1886; married Elizabeth Wright, daughter of James Dugald Brown, Esqr. of Philadelphia, Pa.
Mr. Rogers came of old Rhode Island stock, an unbroken succession of six generations of his ancestors having lived and died within that State. He was educated at Providence, in the common schools and at Brown University, graduating in 1854, with the degree A.M. He then applied himself to business pursuits until 1860, about which time he entered the Berkeley Divinity School at Middletown, graduating in 1863. He was ordained deacon in Emmanuel Church, Newport, R. I. on Aug. 29, 1862, by Bishop Clark, being presented by the Rev. Dr. William Child. He was ordained to the priesthood in the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, N. Y. on Nov. 15, 1863, by the same Bishop; the Rev. A. N. Littlejohn, (afterwards Bishop Littlejohn,) being the presenter. He was an Assistant Minister in the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, N. Y., 1863-1865, under Dr. Littlejohn, following closely the services

there of the Rev. John C. Middleton, who like Mr. Rogers, afterwards became a Rector of St. Mark's Church, New Britain. The Rev. Mr. Rogers was Rector of St. James' Church, Great Barrington, Mass., 1865-1866. In the spring of 1866 he accepted the charge of St. Andrew's Chapel at Fac- toryville, N. Y., entered upon the duties there at Easter, and remained until 1868. He is also reported as at West Brighton, Staten Island, N. Y., for the same period. Saint Andrew's and West Brighton are both in the Borough of Richmond, N. Y. For more than four years he was travelling in Europe and the East. In returning from Palestine he was seized with Syrian fever at Constantinople, so that his life was despaired of, and that grievous illness left an enduring impress on his constitution. In 1873 he was residing in the city of New York without any charge. In 1874 he was in temporary charge of the Church of the Redeemer, in the city of New York, during the absence of the Rector, the Rev. Dr. Shackelford. He was transferred from the Diocese of New York to the Diocese of Albany, into which he was received June 10, 1875, and became the Rector of Christ Church, Schenectady. He was dismissed from the Diocese of Albany, Sept. 23, 1880, to the Diocese of Connecticut, where he entered upon the rectorship of St. Mark's Church, New Britain, Conn., and there spent the remainder of his days, as related in the history for the years 1880-1886.
REV. JAMES STODDARD.
James, a son of Enoch Vine and Sarah Ann (Allen,) Stod- dard, was born at New London, Conn., Dec. 20, 1849; married in New York City, April 27, 1881, Alice, daughter of George Lewis and Matilda Jane (Rockwell,) Kent, born at Brooklyn, N. Y., July 28, 1855. Mr. Stoddard was born into the Church, his father having been a zealous Churchman and for many years prominent in the Diocesan Conventions of this Diocese. James Stoddard was educated at Trinity College, Hartford and the Berkeley Divinity School, Middletown.
On July 12, 1871, James Stoddard, B.A., was recommended by the Standing Committee of this Diocese as a candidate for holy orders. He was made a deacon, in the Church of the

Holy Trinity at Middletown, Conn., by the Right Rev. John Williams, D.D., Bishop of Connecticut, on May 28, 1874 and served during his diaconate as assistant to the Rev. Edwin Harwood, D.D., Rector of Trinity Church, New Haven. On Friday, June II, 1875, the feast of St. Barnabas, in St. James' Church, New London, he was ordained to the priesthood by the Right Rev. Bishop Williams. Mr. Stoddard was presented by the Rev. Dr. Harwood and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Professor Samuel Hart, of Trinity College. At the New Haven County Convocation, Waterbury, Oct. 24 and 25, 1875, the Rev. Mr. Stoddard "read a thoughtful essay upon the subject of Religion and the Masses." He was Rector at St. James's Church, Westville, Conn., 1875-1877. On Dec. 30, 1876, he accepted the rectorship of Christ Church, Watertown, Conn., where he remained until April 1, 1886 and then entered into the rectorship of St. Mark's Church, New Britain, remain- ing there until July 1, 1892, as narrated in the previous pages.
He first attended the Diocesan Convention of this Diocese in 1875, the year that he was ordained to the Priesthood, and he has been present at every Diocesan Convention of the Diocese to which he has belonged since that date, thus attending the annual Diocesan Conventions for thirty-two consecutive years.
He read a portion of the Morning Prayer at the Convention in this Diocese, 1882. In 1892 he was elected vice president and principal of the Episcopal Academy, at Cheshire, Conn. In 1893-4-5 and 6, he was one of the directors on the Board of Education of the Church Scholarship Society. He was also appointed in 1894 and in 1895 by the Bishop as one of the Commissioners on the Endowment of the Episcopal Academy. During his principalship of the Academy he held daily service in the School Chapel, frequently assisted or acted for the Rec- tor of St. Peter's Church, Cheshire, and held services in vari- ous other places. In 1896, (and in years following,) he held services on Sundays during his vacation, at Black Rock, Niantic, Conn., for the benefit of the summer residents. The Bishop's address to the Diocesan Convention 1897 says: that the "Rev. James Stoddard has resigned (July 1, 1896,) the office of Principal of the Academy, proposing to return to Parish work. Mr. Stoddard's term of office has been for the

Academy a period of reconstruction and of reorganization in administration and instruction. It was necessary to do very much in the way of building and renewal in order to put the school property in proper condition as regards health and con- venience. It was also necessary to arrange the courses of study with full appreciation of the increased demands upon a Pre- paratory School of the first rank.
"Under Mr. Stoddard's efficient direction this work of recon- struction and reorganization has been done with great wisdom. The new system of administration has worked well. This school property has been greatly improved and enlarged, and is to-day more valuable and better fitted for school purposes than ever before. The courses of study and standard of instruction have been brought into line with the first prepara- tory Schools of the country. Comparison with the best schools in these particulars need not be feared. For these great gains in the Academy acknowledgment is due to Mr. Stoddard and the staff of teachers which he there formed and directed.
"In times of peculiar difficulty he has guided the school wisely towards better things, and his name will ever be most honorably associated with its history. He retires from his office with the best wishes of all the Trustees and with their appreciation of his faithful services."
At this Convention the Rev. Mr. Stoddard was appointed on the committee on the admission of new parishes. In Septem- ber, 1896, to October, 1897, he was Priest in charge of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Middletown, Conn. From Octo- ber, 1897, to May, 1898, he was Priest in charge of Grace Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. and on June 1, 1898, he became Rector of St. Andrew's Church, Mount Holley, N. J., where he is at present located. At times while here he has also had charge of the nearby churches of St. Martin's and St. Luke's.

REV. HENRY NICOLL WAYNE.
Henry Nicoll, a son of Henry C. and Mary L. (Nicoll,) Wayne, was born at West Point, N. Y., Feb. 4, 1844; married at the Church of the Transfiguration, New York, Oct. 1, 1872, Edith, daughter of Samuel O. and Elizabeth (Hunt,) Town- send, who was born at Armonk, N. Y., Oct. 4, 1850.
He was graduated from St. Stephen's College, Paris, France, 1869, and from the General Theological Seminary of New York, 1872. He was ordained a deacon by the Right Rev. Horatio Potter, Bishop of New York, on June 30, 1872, and ordained to the priesthood by the same Bishop on Oct. 12, 1872. He was Rector of St. Peter's Church, Lithgow, N. Y. and missionary from July, 1872, to May, 1874. For a while in 1874, he was an officiating minister in Trinity Parish, New York. He was transferred from the Diocese of New York to the Diocese of Maryland and became Rector of St. Paul's Church, Baltimore, Md., July, 1874, where he remained until July, 1882. He was then transferred back to the Diocese of New York, and was Rector of St. Paul's Church, Edgewater, Staten Island, N. Y. from July, 1882 to June 1891. He was received into the Diocese of Connecticut from the Diocese of New York, and became Rector of Christ Church, Westport, Conn. in June, 1891. He was called from there to the rector- ship of St. Mark's Church, New Britain, Conn., where he served from Oct. 1, 1893 to July 1, 1899. There was a marked increase in the number of Baptisms, Confirmations and Com- municants, during his rectorship, and the vested choir introduced by him is a constant and pleasant reminder of his work. On June 28, 1899, he was given letters dimissory from this Diocese to the Diocese of New York, when, according to the Journal of Convention for 1899, he removed to White Plains, N. Y. He had charge of the Church at Armonk, near White Plains, for a time and was missionary for parts adjacent. For about one year he was at Amenia, N. Y., and then removed to Armonk, where he still resides, officiating in various places.

In his address to the Diocesan Convention of 1896, he says: "My first official act Sept. 19, 1895, was the nomination of the Rev. Harry I. Bodley (Dean,) to Grace Cathedral, Topeka." The Rev. Mr. Bodley was installed as Dean at the Cathedral on Nov. 17, 1895. On May 24, 1896, the Bishop visited St. John's School, Salina, and the Baccalau- reate sermon in Christ Church was by the Very Rev.
