According to Carter (1887), "He was an Episcopal clergyman, educated at William and Mary's College and Alexandria Seminary; he was ordained by Bishop Meade of Virginia. His ministry of more than fifty years was passed in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and western New York. A man of childlike faith and simplicity, content to spend and bed spent in his Master's service, his life was as a summer's day, lending grace and beauty to all who came within his influence. To know him was not only to love him, but to be drawn to follow him as he followed Christ. Compelled by growing physical infirmities - his mind retaining its vigor to the end - to withdraw from active work, he removed, in 1871, from Castile, western New York, to Painesville, Ohio, where his last days were spent."
