The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1898-10-21


sends US the following clipping, apropos to
the controversy now pending concerning the
religious faith Of the hero of Manila.
beatrice Clayton, who states that she has
been given access 10 the records OF the Dewey
family and to those in the office of the Adju-
tant General of Vermont, writes as follows
concerning the Admiral's religion: Quite
recently Il Philadelphia paper printed an elabC-
rate disqUisition, clearly demonstrating that
that the Admiral is jew and OF Jewish an
cestry; another cnterprising Journal compiled
facts and data enough to convince the most
skeptical, and proved the entire Dewey family
Roman Catholic. Still another, in solemn
way, avOwcd them Presbyterians, and so on
through the list OF denominations. The FOL
lowing extrat from letter received by tho
writer, under date of June 90, 1895. from Hon.
Charles Dewey, brother Of the Admiral, in re-
spouse to a direct question on the subject,
should set all doubt at rest: You may state
on my authority and that Of George Goodwin
Dewey, his only son, that my brother is MEM
be- of the Episcopal Church.
''Another letter in the possession OF Mr..
Edwin j. Dewey, written by William T.
Dewey, nephew Of the Admiral and son of
Mr.. Charles Dewey, gives these particulars:
sAs to the Admira's religion, he was baptized
In the Episcopal Church, always attended the
same, married in the same. He was educated
at Norwich, Vt, Episcopal Academy.
His son was educated at st. Paul's Episcopal
School, Concord, N. II. . His father
was one of the first to organize the Episcopal
Church here, and was warden for about thirty
years; his brother, my father, has been ward
Gu about forty-fve years. 8 His sister
was educated at st. Mary's Episcopal School
in New Jersey, and the Admirsl's nephews
and nieces, fourteen in number, are all mem
beers of the Episcopal Church."
