"Rochester, N. Y. "Feb. 21, 1848.          ". . . It cost me many painful struggles to break away from the ties that bound me to my first parish, but there were considerations . . . which made me willing to leave. Those considerations were not of a pecuniary nature."          Dr. Lee was rector of St. Luke's Church, Rochester, New York, for about eight years. In that church he was consecrated Bishop of Iowa, October 18,1854. He died September 26, 1874. During Mr. Lee's rectorship of Christ Church, "144 were baptized, 84 confirmed, and the 20 communicants increased to 190." 41 Previous Page | Index - Contents | Next Page | Springfield Page | Hampden County History & Genealogy | | Western Mass History & Genealogy |
