Early life and education

Scadding was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1861 to Henry Simcoe Scadding and Elizabeth Winder Wedd. He attended Trinity College, Toronto, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1885.[2]

Ordained ministry

He was ordained deacon on July 26, 1885 and to the priesthood on July 18, 1886 by Bishop Arthur Sweatman of Toronto.[3] As a deacon he served at St John's Church in Buffalo, New York. In 1886 he became assistant rector at St George's Church in Manhattan, remaining there until 1890. He then served as rector in Christ Church in Middletown, New York, and Trinity Church in Toledo, Ohio. Scadding was also a lecturer for the London Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.[1][4]

Family

On July 11, 1888, Scadding married Nellie Davy Donaldson. She died on November 12, 1894. On May 12, 1896, he married Mary Robinson Pomeroy.[1]

Bishop

On September 29, 1906, Scadding was consecrated Bishop of Oregon. Scadding replaced Benjamin Wistar Morris, who had passed that same year. Morris's old age at the end of his episcopate had led to issues in the diocese. Scadding found the episcopal residence in disrepair and, 1910, commissioned a new home. Both the old residence and the 1911-built structure were known as Bishopcroft.[5]

Death

Scadding died of pneumonia on March 29, 1914, in Portland, Oregon.[1]
