Reuben Denton Nevius (1827 – 14 December 1913) was an American botanist and Episcopalian rector, missionary, and the first registrar of the Diocese of Olympia, Washington. Born in Ovid, New York, the Rev. Reuben Denton Nevius received in 1849 his D.D. from Union College in Schenectady, New York. In 1850, Nevius went to Columbus, Georgia for further religious study. After ordainment, he served as an Episcopalian priest in Wetumpka, Alabama.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Reuben Nevius (1827–1913) )〕 In 1872, Nevius was given the ecclesiastical responsibility for a wide circuit in eastern Oregon, where he established seven new congregations. His circuit-riding responsibilities later included eastern Washington and Idaho. He directed the building of many new churches, some of which are still standing.〔 Asa Gray named the plant genus ''Neviusia'' in his honor. There has been a controversy over assigning credit for the discovery of this genus.〔 ==See also== *St. John's Episcopal Church (Olympia, Washington) 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「Reuben Nevius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
