Baars and Aiken families in memory
of the late beloved DIR. Percival
Whaley, and Eucharistic lights in
his memory were also placed on the
altar by members of the church.
Chancel chairs in memory of lis par
ents, were also given by Mr.. P. K.
Yonge, and brass altar vases by Mr..
Yonge in memory of other members
of his family.
It is remarkable fact that the
three ministers of Christ church who
have served during this generation
are all South Carolinians by birth.
Mr.. Brown was born in Column
bus, S. c.; Mr.. Whaley at Edisto Is
land, near Charleston, in which city
he held rectorship, after leaving
Pensacola.
DIR. SCOTT.
DR.. J. Jackson Scott was born at
Rose Dew, his parents country resi-
dence, in st. Luke's parish, South
Carolina. His father was a native
of Scotland, his mothers ancestors
being Swiss Huguenots who /, had
refugeed from st. Gaul. He married
Mary Goode Thornton Maury Of Vir-
GINA, who was his devoted helpmate
throughout his many years of SER
| vice to the church, and who survived
him. He came to Florida from Ala
bama, where the first years of his
ministry were spent, and in II 48 be-
came rector of Christ church, remain
ing in charge Of this parish until he
rendered his resignation in 1889. Dur.
ing the years of 1928, he was
chaplain at Fort Barrancas. Fol
nearly forty years he served the par
ish as rector, passing through five
yellow fever epidemics, science not
having drawn the fangs from the dis.
ease which was then the scourge OF
the gulf cities, but which modern
medical science has since Invested OF
! all its terrors.
No record of Christ church would
be complete without mention of the
devoted service of the late Perciva
II. Whaley, during whose steward
ship the present Christ church wa.
erected, and whose heart was 81
bound up in the church and the par,
ish. The ivy which covers the church
in summer ike a wonderful veil o.
| green, and in winter with a network
of tendrils, was planted about tn,
church by DR.. Whaley, some of i
having been brought by him from
England, from the famous Kenil
j worth castle As the ivy has strucl
4 its roots far down in the soil abou
the sacred edifice which was his hop
and his pride, SO did his service t,
j humanity and his love for his fel
bowman reach deep into the heart
i of those who loved him, and who's
rector he was for so many usefu
i and gracious years of service.
