THE LATE BISHOP HAVEN
Bishop Gilbert Haven died in Malden, near Boston, Saturday night. He was born in Malden, in 1821, and he was graduated from the Wesleyan university. For the next two years he taught Latin and Greek in Amenia seminary, and then became principal of the institution. In 1851 he joined the New England conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, and was stationed successively at Northampton, Wilbraham, Westfield, Roxbury and Cambridge, Mass.
At the breaking out of the civil was he at once applied for a chaplaincy and received the first commission of the kind issued during the war. He did not, however, do much active service in the field, and in 1862 he went to Europe and the east and passed some time in traveling. He returned to Boston and became a pastor there for two years, and in 1865 he was appointed by the government to supervise the distribution of relief for destitute freedmen. The appointment furnished him occupation for two years more, when he became the editor of Zion's Herald. He edited that journal for five years and gave it up when in 1872 he was elected a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church. The conference decided that his official residence should be at Atlanta, Ga., and that thence he should supervise the interests of the church in the southern states. This duty he varied by visits to Mexico in 1872 and 1873, and he was otherwise conspicuous during these years for his nominations of Grant to a third term. He was very much in favor of attempting to establish Protestant missions in Italy and among the Spanish-speaking states of America, and it was with this view really that he visited Mexico. He published several books of travel, and some volumes of sermons and political speeches. (Published in: Tompkins County, NY, Ithaca Daily Journal, pg. 4, January 6th, 1880
