He was a missionary of the Protestant Episcopal Church, who arrived in Walla Walla in 1871 and founded Saint Paul's Church. The school offered both day and boarding options for grades six through twelve, until it closed in 1968.
Donated to the Whitman College and Northwest Archives by the Board of Trustees at Saint Paul's School in 1968, and by Marjorie Gunderson in 1990. The accession numbers are retro-0039 and retro-0052.
