RUTLEDGE, ADAM ANGUS (1869-1966)

RUTLEDGE, ADAM ANGUS, Baptist minister, Doaktown, 1913-14 and 1919-26; b. Collina, Kings Co., N.B., 22 May 1869, s/o David Rutledge, a native of England, and Catherine Long, a native of Ireland; m. 1896, Margaret Elizabeth Steeves, of Elgin, Albert Co., N.B.; d. Doaktown, 6 Mar 1966.

Adam A. Rutledge attended the superior school in Sussex and took his theological training at the Union Baptist Seminary at St Martins, shortly before it was closed. Ordained in 1895, he devoted his whole ministry to small, rural communities. Aside from a brief pastorate at Berwick, N.S., his churches were in New Brunswick. Before he was invited to Doaktown he ministered at several locations in Albert and St John counties and for more than fifteen years at Temperance Vale and Prince William in York County.

Rutledge was pastor for two terms at Doaktown: from 1913 until the fall of 1914, when he was called back to his former church at Temperance Vale, and from 1919 until his resignation in 1926, after the onset of an illness. He continued to live at Doaktown, where he preached in the Baptist church on his eightieth birthday. He died sixteen years later, at age ninety-six. He and his wife, Margaret E. Steeves, had a daughter and two sons. Their daughter, Etta P. Rutledge, married the Rev. Gordon Beckett, who was the Baptist minister at Doaktown in the late 1920s. Their son Clifford G. Rutledge was a well-known salmon angler and sports outfitter at Doaktown.
