Many of the men in my family—Peter Guignon, Philip White, Peter Williams Ray, and Jerome Bowers Peterson—were ardent supporters of St. Philip's. First elected to the vestry in 1850, Philip became an increasingly important force to be reckoned with. He held the position of senior warden from 1884 until his death in 1891.
In this photograph of the 1890 vestry, in the front row seated are: Dr. Bishop center; Philip White at far left. In the second row standing are: Jerome B. Peterson second from left, Peter Williams Ray third from left.
