Biographical History
Alpheus Waters Wilson, Methodist bishop and author, was born 5 February 1834, in Baltimore, Maryland, and died there 21 November 1916. He was made secretary of the board of missions (1878); made bishop (1882); toured missions in East Asia (1886; 1890-1891; 1898-1900; 1907; Japan, Korea, China) and Brazil (1892-1903); and wrote many articles and books including MISSIONS and WITNESS TO CHRIST, a collection of lectures delivered at Vanderbilt University. He was married to Susan B. Lipscomb.
Norval Wilson, Alpheus' father, (1802-1876) converted to Methodism in 1819 while studying law but in March 1821 was licensed as a preacher. He spent most of his years on the Baltimore, Winchester, and Alexandria Circuits. He was appointed a presiding elder when twenty-six years old and in 1861 wrote the resolutions severing the Baltimore Conference from the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
