HASLAM, PERCY JOHN ENMAN (1886-1959)

HASLAM, PERCY JOHN ENMAN, Anglican rector, Hardwicke, 1924-37; b. Springfield, P.E.I., 28 May 1886, s/o Benjamin Haslam and Esther Oxenham; m. 1922, Margaret C. Shand, of Saint John; d. there, 16 Oct 1959.

Percy J. E. Haslam was educated at Prince of Wales College and the Charlottetown Business College. He worked first in a bank and then with the railroads in the western States, being based for a time at Salt Lake City. In the fall of 1915 he entered Wycliffe College, Toronto, to train for the ministry. His studies were interrupted by World War I, in which he served on the front lines in France and Belgium with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. After demobilization he finished his training at Wycliffe and did missionary work in the summers in the diocese of Rupert's Land.

Haslam was ordained an Anglican priest in 1922 by the bishop of Fredericton. He was rector of Salisbury and Havelock for two years, with his residence at Petitcodiac, before being appointed rector of Hardwicke in 1924. Some eighteen months after his arrival the new Church of St John the Evangelist, which had been built at Bay du Vin during the rectorship of the Rev. Harold Hesketh, was consecrated.

After thirteen years at Bay du Vin, Haslam was appointed rector of Dalhousie, and he remained there for the duration of his ministry. In 1940 he was elected rural dean of Chatham. He retired in his wife's home city of Saint John in 1951. His death in 1959, at age seventy-three, occurred in the DVA hospital in Lancaster. He and his wife, Margaret C. Shand, had two daughters.
