PRIME, AUGUSTUS (1842-1908)

PRIME, AUGUSTUS, Anglican missionary, Newcastle and Hardwicke, 1874-76; b. London, England, 31 Mar 1842, s/o Augustus Prime Sr and Eliza Arbor; m. 1872, Frances H. Lark Haskell, of Montreal; d. Boston, Mass., 19 Jun 1908.

Augustus Prime was educated at Bishop's College in Lennoxville, Que., and was ordained a deacon in 1868. He was an assistant from 1869 at St John the Evangelist Church in Montreal. An ardent Anglo-Catholic, he published a pamphlet entitled "A Rule of Life" which his evangelistic bishop disliked so intensely that he suspended him from his duties for six months.

Prime was ordained a priest in 1874 and appointed to Newcastle as successor to the Rev. George H. Sterling. While based at St Andrew's Church he also ministered at Bay du Vin and elsewhere in Hardwicke parish, as his predecessors had done. He stayed only two years, being succeeded in 1876 by the Rev. H. Hough Barber. He had an assignment in New York state in 1879. From 1880 onward he was rector of St Margaret's Church in Brighton, Mass. He visited the Miramichi in 1891.
