[Baltimore Sun, April 2, 1921, Submitted By Jackie Donaldson] LEVINGTON Departed this life, in the city of Baltimore, on the 17th day of May, 1837, after a short but painful illness, the Rev. WILLIAM LEVINGTON, Rector of St. James' Protestant Episcopal Church, of that city aged years. Mr. L. visited Baltimore soon after his ordination as deacon, on the 14th of March, 1824, by the Rt. Rev. William White D.D., Bishop of Pennsylvania, spent two or three weeks there, and then returned to Philadelphia, at that time the place of his canonical residence. Immediately after this visit, the proposition was made by the Rev. Dr. Wyatt, to some of the most respectable members of the church in Baltimore, to give him a call to their city, to labor in the getting up of a school, and the raising of an Episcopal church for colored persons. This meeting their cordial approbation, and that of the rt. Rev. Dr. Kemp, Bishop of Maryland, they wrote without delay to Mr. L., who consented, and went to Baltimore on the 26th of May, of that year. But the prospects of effecting these objects were at the first very gloomy. No place could be obtained, suitable for the school nor the church, for a long time: but by the blessing of the Almighty on his persevering efforts, he finally procured a large room, in which he held a daily and Sunday school, and also divine worship, until the last of March, 1827, when they were removed to the above mentioned church, which had been built through his very zealous and persevering exertions. After this, he was admitted by the same venerable prelate, who had conferred on him deacon's orders, to the order of the priesthood. This ordination also took place in Philadelphia. From this time to the day of his death, he continued in the diligent discharge of his pastoral duties, to the flock he had gathered in Baltimore, who now cannot but deeply lament his loss, as that of a father in the gospel, who spared not himself that he might promote their temporal and spiritual advantage.
