Batchelder, Calvin R. (Calvin Redington), 1813-1879

In 1876 Reverend Calvin Redington Batchelder of Claremont, New Hampshire published the first volume of a projected 3-volume history of the Eastern Diocese of the Episcopal Church. When he died in 1879 the final two volumes remained in the hands of his publisher. Under a resolution passed by the Rhode Island Episcopal Convention in 1905, about 200 unbound copies and papers related to volume 1, "The Church in New Hampshire", were bought from Lemuel N. Ide of Newton Centre, Massachusetts, the surviving representative of the publishers.
