Henry Adams 1868-1869

Mr. Adams was called August 5, 1868 as rector of Saint John’s and came to us from the Diocese of Iowa.   He was an alumnus of Amherst College and of Andover Theological Seminary.  He accepted the low church protestant resolution of the vestry.  The highlight of his brief pastorate seems to have been the erection of a shed to accommodate horses and coaches of parishioners attending services.  Mr. Adams resigned November 9, 1869.
