RANDALL, George Maxwell, bishop, was born in Warren, R. I., Nov. 23, 1810, son of Samuel and Martha (Maxwell) Randall. It was his purpose to be a printer, and he learned the art, but subsequently concluded to obtain an education with a view to entering professional life. Having passed through the preparatory stage of his studies in Warren, lie entered Brown University, and was graduated in the class of 1835, and in 1838 completed his theological course of study at the General Theological Seminary of New York. Having been ordained deacon by Bishop Griswold, soon after his graduation, lie became rector of the Church of the Ascension, in Fall River, Mass., where he remained until 1844. He was then called to take charge of a newly organized parish in Boston, the Church of the Messiah, and continued to be its rector until 1866; twenty-two years. While acting as the minister of the Church of the Messiah, he was also for many years the editor of the "Christian Witness," which represented the Episcopal church in New England. He took a deep interest in the educational affaire of Boston, and was one of the most faithful and efficient members of the school committee for several years. He was secretary of the general convention of the Episcopal church of the United States, and a member of the standing committee of the diocese of Massachusetts. He was selected by his church, in the fall of 1865, to be missionary bishop of Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico, and was consecrated in December to take the oversight of the interests of his church in the vast territory embraced within the limits of his wide-extended diocese. He entered upon the discharge of his Episcopal duties with apostolic zeal and earnestness. He was, so far as human helpers were concerned, nearly alone, there being but two clergymen and two parishes in all the region which came" under his supervision. The record of a period of seven years' work is thus summed up by Prof. Gammell : "When his labors came to an end his diocese contained twenty-four parishes, twenty church edifices free from debt, and fifteen clergymen. He had established schools for boys and for girls and a theological school, which together had cost upwards of $150,000. These he designed to be the beginnings of the future University of Colorado. He identified himself with all the interests of civilization in the Rocky mountains. He promoted goodwill towards the Indians ; he encouraged education and all social improvements ; and he preached the gospel to all sorts of people in settlements where it had seldom been preached before." Bishop Randall died in Denver. Col., Sept. 28, 1873, leaving a wife, Eliza (Hoar) Randall, daughter of Lewis Hoar, of Warren, to whom he was married in May, 1839.

George married Elizabeth Hoar on 28 May 1839 in Warren, Bristol Co, Rhode Island, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of Lewis Hoar and Frances Bennett Rogers) was born on 15 Jun 1813 in Warren, Bristol Co, Rhode Island, USA; died on 29 Apr 1891 in Warren, Bristol Co, Rhode Island, USA. [Group Sheet]
