The Procters In Glendale (Continued)

Following the death of W. A. in 1907, his daughter, Bessie, and her husband Ralph Rogan moved into The Oaks.

Following the death of W. C. in 1934, Miss Mary Johnston moved into The Woodlands with Mrs. Procter and lived there until her death in 1967. Her father’s property was given to the Sisters of the Transfiguration.

The Procters were related to many families and brought business acquaintances to Glendale. These are a few family names associated or related to the Procters: Mathews, Burchenal, Sawyer, Johnston, Rogan, Ault, Brown and Benedict.

 

When W. A.’s daughter, Olivia, married Rev. Cleveland Benedict and became the rector of Christ Church, Mr. Procter had the original rectory; a large frame building built in 1875, moved down the street to 940 Forest in 1903 and financed the building of a new stone rectory.

The Glendale Procters now rest in Spring Grove Cemetery.
940 Forest Avenue (Original Rectory moved in 1903)
985 Forest Avenue (New Rectory 1903)
When the Lyceum was being built by subscription charges to the members, it came up short and Mr. Procter made up the difference to get it finished.
In the 1970's both of the Procter homes were razed to make way for new subdivisions. The only vestige of the Procter compound is the stone entry walls on Albion Avenue.
