UPTON, HEWLITT CHARLES (1892-1970)

UPTON, HEWLITT CHARLES, United Church minister, Boiestown, 1942-43; Doaktown, 1948-51; and Tabusintac and Burnt Church, 1951-55; b. Sheffield, N.B., 21 Sep 1892, s/o Harvey S. Upton and Annie E. Colwell; m. Olive Blanche Murphy; d. Colorado Springs, Col., 1 Jan 1970.

Hewlitt C. Upton was a graduate of the Provincial Normal School and taught in Alberta before studying for the ministry at Mount Allison University and the Wesleyan Theological College in Montreal. Ordained in 1923, he occupied Methodist and United Church pulpits in rural New Brunswick, Quebec, and Nova Scotia over a period of more than thirty years. While he was the minister at Andover, N.B., in 1929, he created a sensation by failing to appear for Sunday services because his salary payments were in arrears.

Upton was exceedingly fond of the Miramichi, as his service in three separate charges illustrates, and his terms at Doaktown and Tabusintac were among the lengthiest of his ministry. He retired in 1955 and spent most of the rest of his life in the United States with a son, who was his only named survivor in 1970.
