"Bereft of his mother at a tender age & bound out into virtual slavery he was denied both the tenderness of a mother and comforts of even a crude home life, spending his early years in such abject want that, in his own words, he often vied with the dogs for the crumbs that fell from the table of his master." Learned to read through bits of paper he found & a friend who assisted him. Took correspondence courses in Greek at Boston School of Theology earning degree of Doctor of Divinity by Bennet College & Doctor of Philosophy by Brandywine School. Joined Delaware Annual Conference in 1885 at John Wesley Church, Salisbury, Md. Charges: South Wilmington, Del; Cape May, N. J.; Odessa, Del; Pocomoke Circuit, Md; Fairmount, Md; Ezion, Wilmington, Del.; Presiding Elder of Wilmington District. In 1902 was appointed to pastorate of Church on Bainbridge Street that bears his name.
