In one newspaper article (The Standard Union - August 1, 1919) it was mentioned - Dudley T. Upjohn, a New York business man who conducts a mission on the Bowery, pleaded that the pastors of the Presbyterian Church have more human sympathy and that they should have "an open study door to their young people to advise them on the questions of life."
New York Herald - June 7, 1913
All Night Institution in the Bowery Needs Assistance to Continue Work Among the Unfortunate.
According to the statement issued yesterday by Dudley T. Upjohn, president and treasurer of the All Night Mission, No. 8 Bowery, the mission has sheltered 70,000 men, fed 40,000 and helped 7,000 to a new start in life since its organization, two years ago.
Besides this, Mr. Upjohn announces 400 trips to hospitals and 300 trips to prisons have been made, and more than 300,000 loaves of bread distributed to the needy each year. Although the mission has been open day and night since its establishment, the cost for each year has been only a little more than $3,000.
In 1902, he married Mary Morton Pickslay, daughter of a wealthy diamond dealer, Charles Pickslay. She then divorced him in 1912 due to disagreements as to how to invest the $250,000 inheritance from her father. She then married her neighbor's son, a young man half her age.
