## Early life and education

Ablewhite was born on September 11, 1887, in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of James B. Ablewhite and Annie Seller. He was educated at University School in Cleveland, before studying at Kenyon College from where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts. He also enrolled at Bexley Hall, the divinity school of Kenyon College, and earned his Bachelor of Divinity in 1915. He was awarded a Doctor of Divinity in 1930. Ablewhite married Inez Fillmore on June 17, 1915.

## Ordained ministry

Ablewhite was ordained deacon in 1915 by Bishop William Andrew Leonard of Ohio, and priest in 1916 by Bishop Boyd Vincent of Southern Ohio. He served as curate at the Church of the Advent in Cincinnati, Ohio, between 1915 and 1917, and then rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Columbus, Ohio, between 1917 and 1919. In 1919, he became rector of St James' Church in Piqua, Ohio, while in 1926, he became rector of St Philip's Church in St. Louis. In 1928, he was chosen to be the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in Marquette, Michigan.

## Bishop

During a special diocesan convention held in Grace Church, Ishpeming, Michigan, on December 17, 1929, Ablewhite was elected Bishop of Marquette on the second ballot. He was consecrated on March 25, 1930, in St Paul's Cathedral by Bishop Hugh L. Burleson of South Dakota.

# Buffalo and Rochester Railroad

The Buffalo and Rochester Railroad was a railroad company formed on December 7, 1850 by the merger of the Tonawanda Railroad and the Attica and Buffalo Railroad. The company remained in business for three years before it was merged with other companies into the New York Central Railroad.

## History

Initially, the idea for this line came from the perceived need for a rail line to serve Steuben and Livingston Counties in New York. Farmers and merchants in the area proposed a route along the Cohocton and Genesee river valleys up to Avon. The route would thence go west to the Tonawanda Railroad at Batavia. This would have been an alternative to the Erie Railroad's plan to end its line at Dunkirk. The Erie declined, and the projected line became the Buffalo and Cohocton Valley Railroad. The side line from Avon to Batavia, however, became part of the Buffalo and Rochester Railroad.
The primary accomplishment of the railroad was the construction of a new route between Buffalo and Batavia. The original route went from Rochester to Batavia to Attica and then to Buffalo. In April 1852, the railroad opened a new line from Buffalo to Batavia. This shortened the distance between the two cities and became part of the New York Central Railroad's famed "Water Level Route". The Buffalo and Rochester sold its line between Attica and Depew (east of Buffalo) to the Buffalo and New York City Railroad, part of the New York and Erie Railroad system. The new owners converted the line to their six-foot gauge.
The railroad was one of ten that merged on May 17, 1853 to form the New York Central Railroad.
