Here we have an excellent group photo of clergymen taken during a Diocesan Conference in Baker, Oregon (the back of the photo says Conference 1923/1924). Was this actually the annual EDEO Convention? Do we know what year the event was held in Baker? I see Bishop Remington (sitting front and center), but can anyone identify the other gentlemen in this photograph?

The Rt. Rev. William B. Spofford, Jr., born 28 January 1921, passed away today at the age of 92. Reverend Spofford was consecrated the fourth Bishop of the Diocese of Eastern Oregon on 25 January 1969 during a snowstorm in Ontario, Oregon. Bishop Spofford also served terms as the Assistant Bishop of the Diocese of Washington and Bishop-Chaplain at St. George’s College in Jerusalem. Rest in peace Bishop Spofford, you will be greatly missed.
Here is a dedication to Bishop Spofford on his 90th birthday, from the Grace Memorial Episcopal Church website. Please share any memories you have of Bishop Spofford. |
