Walter R., D.D., was born Aug. 3, 1821; entered the class of 1843, Madison Univer- sity ; ordained at Ashville, Chatauqua Oo., N. Y., July 5, 1842; pastor in Media, Perry, and Hamil- ton; in this last place for fifteen years. Here his ministry was greatly blessed. Large accessions were made to the church. His congregations were composed not only of residents of the village, but also of the professors and students of the uni- versity and other educational institutions in the place; to all of whom he endeared himself by his faithful and sympathetic presentation of gospel truths. In 1859 was made secretary of the Education Board of New York; in 1863 received the degree of D.D. from Madison University ; in 1868 visited Europe, Egypt, and Palestine with his family ; in 1875 appointed Lecturer in Natural History in Madison, which position he still retains.
