Walter Cabot Baylies (1862-1936)
Walter Cabot Baylies, our greatest benefactor and longest-standing senior warden, retired. He had served faithfully with three rectors: Elwood Worcester, Benjamin M. Washburn, and Phillips Endicott Osgood.
In October, the Rev. Lloyd Gillmett, who later became dean of Los Angeles’ cathedral church, was succeeded as curate by the Rev. Ivol Curtis, who left in 1937, thereafter held many posts including rector of St. John’s, Jamaica Plain, and became Bishop of Olympia (WA) in 1964. Gathered in our Emmanuel Room is Dr. Osgood seated at his desk with the Rev. Albert Coursin Morris, Vicar of Church of the Ascension, on his right. Behind them (left to right) are Gillmett, Curtis, and the Rev. John Bradner, Curate of Church of the Ascension. Thanks to Julian Bullitt for his research on our clergy.
