Book excerpt: Excerpt from Case of Christ Church, Germantown, Philadelphia: Being a Report of the Proceedings Before the Board of Presbyters, in Reference to the Application of a Majority of the Vestry of Said Church, for a Dissolution of the Pastoral Connection Christ Church, Germantown, was organized in 1852, and was incorporated in 1853. In the year 1854 the Rev. A. B. Atkins was elected Rector. In June, 18G9, having previously had differences with some of his congregation, ho resigned. The Rev. J. Newton Stanger was called to fill the rectorship temporarily, and remained for nearly a year. On September 7th, 1869, the Rev. Dr. Rumney, among others, was nominated as Rector. In December, 1869, the Rev. W. S. Langford was unanimously elected Rector, but declined to come. In February, 1870, the Rev. Dr. Rumney was unanimously elected. He visited the parish, and in the following April, signified his acceptance. On May 1st, 1870, he came to Germantown, and was very favorably received. Soon after the Vestry election of 1871, a committee of the Vestry, appointed to confer with the Rector on the well being of the parish, insistedthat heshould resign.No charges were made against him, or any grounds alleged, except that he was not sufficiently "Low Church." A majority of the congregation desired him not to resign, He declined to resign. In June, 1871, Bishop Stevens, after hearing an ex parte presentation of the case, recommended his resignation. A few weeks afterwards, after hearing the other side, he changed his opinion. On September 30th, 1871, the Bishop wrote a letter sustaining the Rector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Suburb in the City, David Contosta tells the story of how Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania, once a small milling and farming town, evolved to become both a suburban enclave for wealthy Philadelphians and a part of the city itself." "In 1854, the railroad connected Philadelphia and Chestnut Hill and the village was annexed by the city. Attuned to the romantic currents of the age, the wealthy men and women who moved to Chestnut Hill believed that the village's semi-rural surroundings might uplift them physically, spiritually, emotionally, and morally. At the same time, they wanted to continue to enjoy the best that the city had to offer while escaping from its more unpleasant aspects: dirt, crime, disease, and other shortcomings. They thus cultivated a dual identity with both suburb and city." "Ironically, this led to a sense of division as prosperous suburbanites held themselves aloof from the resident shopkeepers and domestic servants who provided so many of their creature comforts. Being a suburb in the city also meant that Chestnut Hill could not control its political destiny, as communities outside the municipal limits could. In response, residents developed a number of civic organizations that became a sort of quasi government." "Contosta's study of Chestnut Hill thus illuminates the divided and often ambivalent feelings that Americans hold about their great cities. He includes anecdotes gleaned from dozens of interviews with men and women of many backgrounds - lawyers, nuns, debutantes, grocers, craftsmen, and former servants - who tell of their lives in Chestnut Hill. More than one hundred photographs, many never before published, further enliven this analysis of suburban America."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three generations of the Houston-Woodward family, one of the wealthiest and most influential in Philadelphia, have been leaders in politics, diplomacy, suburban planning, housing reform, land conservation, and historic preservation. In A Philadelphia Family, David Contosta analyzes the impact the Houstons and Woodwards have had economically, politically, and demographically on Philadelphia, a city known for its reserved and private leading families. The story of the Houston and Woodward families' continuing public service offers a unique perspective on Philadelphia history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Family founder Henry Howard Houston (1820-1895) was one of America's greatest post-Civil War entrepreneurs, a top executive of the Pennsylvania Railroad as well as a leading speculator in oil, mining, and other railroad ventures. Houston created a unique, planned suburb in Chestnut Hill, which his son Samuel and son-in-law George Woodward maintained and expanded in the twentieth century. Woodward, in particular, became an energetic crusader for housing reform. Other family members have distinguished themselves in government service and charitable work. Stanley Woodward served in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations, George Woodward was a state senator for 30 years, and Lawrence M. C. Smith was founder and owner of a prominent classical music station in Philadelphia.
