Bishop Wilmer Passes Away.


After years of suffering, which he
bore with a fortitude and patience
compatible with his fervent and good
life, the beloved Bishop Wilmer has
passed to his reward. His death &C.
Cured last Thursday at his home in
Mobile, Ala, and caused sorrow ev-
erywhere, regardless of religious
creed
The Right Rev. Richard Hooker
Wilmer came of an old Maryland
family, aud was born in Alexandria,
Va, on March 18th, 1916. He grad
uated at Yale in 1886, and at the
Theological Seminary of the Episco-
pal church near Alexandria In 1899.
OF this institution he was the oldest
living alumnus, except the Rev. Ken
sey John Stwart, ID. d., who survives
him and is now residing in Rich
mond.
Bishop Wilmer was ordained in
Monumental church of Richmond on
Easter day, 1910. and was for many
years rector of st. Paurs Church,
Goochlsnd, where he ministered TO
the Episcopalians on James River. Ia
1914 be succeeded Rev. Alex. Shiras
in the rectOrship of Grace Church,
Berryville, and resigned in lS49.
During his rectorship, the Episcopal
church at Wickliffe was consecrated
by Bishop Meade, on February ;,
1916, and in l84S Grace church was
improved by the addition of CALLER
les, and otherwise repaired aud en-
larged at an expense of $500.
He was then called to organize
Emanuel church, Henrico, and under
his administration that church WAS
built and a congregation assembled
and organized. He remained there
until March 9th. 1862. when he wa
consecrated Bishop of Alabama IN II.
Paul's church, lachmond. Va lie
then moved TO Alabama. where ne
has ever since resided. lie recei we'd
the degree Of -. d. from William
and Mary College IN 1880, aud L. l..
d. from the University of Oxford.
England. in le61.
At the close Of the war Bishop
Wilmer recommended TO the clergy of
his diocese the omission of that pray
er offered in the morning service of
the Episcopal church For the Pres
ident of the United states and All I'm
Civil Authority" on the ground that
only military government existed in
Alabama. Thereupon Gen. Geo II.
Thomas, the ex-Nirginian, suspended
him aud his clergy from their func
tions, but the order was afterwards
set aside BY President johnson.
Bishop Wilmer has always been
distinguished for his eloquence as n
preacher, for the soundness of his
doctrine, the simplicity aud beauty
of his personal life. He had a great
fund of wit and humor in him which
amused and delighted all who came
under his influence. He was most
ardent SOutherner in his feelings and
gave utterance to many wholesome
truths in his book on The recent
Past from Southern Standpoint"
