Biography:
Following the death of the Rev. Mr. Rottenstein, the first minister, Rector Silas Davenport was sent by the Diocese of Texas to the Dallas parish. A stately monument at his grave in this lot bears this inscription: Rev. Silas Davenport, Born July 21, 1830, Died Jan. 1, 1877 Born in Elizabeth City, N. C., the Rev. Mr. Davenport had been educated for the ministry at Raleigh. Soon after he was ordained, he came by ship to Texas, serving as a traveling missionary until the Civil War, when he became an officer in the Confederate Army. Coming to Dallas in August, 1868, as rector of St. Matthew's, when services were being held on Main Street, a new location was soon established at Elm and Lamar.
In 1874, the Rev. Mr. Davenport became the first dean of St. Matthew's Cathedral when the church was located on Commerce Street. He was also in charge of missionary work, which included eight counties, and much of his time was spent traveling on horseback, or by buckboard, to the parishes in the North Texas diocese. His death was caused by exposure to severe winter weather in performance of his pastoral duties.
