Rev. George W. Wickersham II

Dr. Wickersham had held Episcopal parishes in New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Virginia. He also twice held "exchange parishes" in England.
During World War II, he served as a chaplain with the United States Marines.
At the time of his death, he was rector emeritus of St. Luke's Church in Hot Springs, Va.; honorary associate of Trinity-St. John's Church, Hewlett, Long Island, N.Y., and honorary cannon emeritus of the Cathedral of St. John Divine, New York City.
He was also the only American member of the Confraternity of Benefactors of Salisbury Cathedral.
He authored several books and innumerable articles in newspapers and church publications.
He was a graduate of St. Mark's School in Southborough, Mass., Harvard University and Virginia Theological Seminary. The latter institution awarded him a doctor in divinity degree in 1967.
Dr. Wickersham's chief interests were in association with prisoners and young people, the ecumenical movement, music, athletics and art.
The continued construction of New York's huge cathedral and the restoration of Salisbury Cathedral occupied much of his time.
For the 12 middle years of his ministry, he was pastor of a Baptist church (U.S.), a congregational church and an Episcopal church - all at the same time, a unique undertaking.
He is survived by his wife, the former Elizabeth Wistar Craighill; their daughter, Nancy W. Leonhard; three grandchildren, Katharine Langhorne Beard, Elizabeth C. Kiem and Nathaniel Alan Leonhard; and four great-grandchildren.
