James Augustus Watton (1915–1995) was a Canadian Anglican bishop in the second half of the 20th century.[1]
Life and career [ edit ]
Watton was born on 23 October 1915,[2] educated at the University of Western Ontario and ordained in 1939.[3] He held curacies at Lucknow, Ontario and Merlin , after which he was the incumbent of Plympton–Wyoming . After time at Geraldton , Kirkland Lake [4] and Timmins , he became Dean of Moosonee in 1955.
In 1957, he became Rector of St John's Port Hope and in 1958 of St Michael and All Angels, Toronto . In 1963, he became the Bishop of Moosonee , a position he held until 1979, for the last five years of which he was also Metropolitan of Ontario .
He retired to Southampton, Ontario, and died on 14 August 1995, in Walkerton, Ontario, after some years of battling Alzheimers. He is buried in Southampton Cemetery,[5] overlooking the Saugeen River where he used to fish.
