Albert S. Nicholson (1829 – May 29, 1893) was a prominent religious leader of Clark County in what was then the Washington Territory, as well as a civic leader and educator. ==Early years== Albert S. Nicholson was born in Salem Corners, Wayne County, Pennsylvania in 1829. At 21 he left his farm home and taught school for some time in Ohio. From childhood, he had a desire to enter the ministry and while living in the family of Dr. Van Ingen in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was induced by Dr. Van Ingen to enter the theological seminary Nashotah House. Although he had already been baptized, he insisted on the rite being repeated by immersion in one of the lakes of Nashotah, Wisconsin by Bishop Jackson Kemper. He graduated from the seminary in 1860, received deacon's orders and immediately took charge of Christ Episcopal Church, Delavan, Wisconsin. He seems always to have had the urge for teaching and in the autumn of 1861, opened a school in Delavan. In this year he was ordained an Episcopal priest and in 1862 was married to Mary Elvira Warner, a native of Michigan.〔 In 1863, Rev. and Mrs. Nicholson went westward across the plains and settled in Stockton, California, where Nicholson opened a school. Their son Lawson was born in 1866. In 1867, Nicholson became rector of Christ Church, Napa, California, now called St. Mary's Episcopal Church. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albert S. Nicholson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
