Notice biographique
Robert William Dyer was born in England in 1808. An Anglican priest, Dyer and his wife Elizabeth and their children William, Henry, Joseph, and Isabella arrived in Prince Edward Island, possibly from Newfoundland, in 1859. Rev. Dyer was responsible for establishing the second Church of England parish west of St. Eleanors. For close to 26 years he ministered to the communities of Cascumpec (later Alberton), Tignish, Kildare Capes and the surrounding areas. In the early years this ministry took place in the homes of communicants, school houses and temperance halls but eventually churches were built in these locations culminating in the consecration of the original St. Peter's in Cascumpec in September 1869. Rev. Dyer resigned his charge in 1886 and died a short time later on 4 February 1887.
Historique de la conservation
Présentation du contenu
The fonds consists of a microfilm of a typescript of the diary of Rev. Robert William Dyer from June of 1859 to the end of 1883. The typescript begins with the journey to Prince Edward Island in the summer of 1859. Apparently the diary had commenced before this date as the page begins mid-entry. Upon taking up his duties in the parish of Cascumpec, Dyer keeps a regular diary of his pastoral activities including where he preached, the size and composition of the congregation, the text of his sermon, special occasions such as the consecration of the church by the Bishop at Cascumpec, the establishing of Sunday schools and prayer meetings, and his constant and continuing visits to members of his congregation. He also describes the weather, travel conditions and mode of transportation, the state of his health, family matters, and events, particularly deaths in the communities for which he was responsible. He also describes his trips to Port Hill, St. Eleanor's and Charlottetown where he was often a guest preacher.
