Story
Elias Scovil seems to have excelled in his studies, but in his young days to have been extremely different. In the year 1800 it was decided that he should take holy orders and become a missionary under the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. When Bishop Inglis of Nova Scotia proposed to send young Scovil to take charge of the parish of Maugerville, the people acknowledged him to be a most worthy young man, but alleged that he was too different and modest. The Bishop asked if they would have an impudent fellow? They said, No, but wished their missionary might have some share of confidence in his own talents. The Bishop rejoined that difference was usually a mark of merit and that time would cure Mr. Scovil if had too much of it. Elias Scovil was ordained as a deacon in the Church of England on September 20, 1801, and went immediately to Fredericton New Brunswick. He was spoken of as a worthy and excellent young man and was much liked. After his ordination as priest he returned to Kingston to assist his father.
The report of the Society for 1803 says: 'The Rev. James Scovil has been disabled from doing any duty for a year past by a severe attack of the dropsy, since when his health has been gradually declining without any hopes of recovery. His son has taken charge of the mission of the adjoining parishes.In the Journal of the Society for 1808 there is a notice of the death of the Rev. James Scovil. It says: 'He was a very old missionary of the Society, having been employed in their service nearly fifty years. His son has earnestly requested the Society to appoint him to the mission, with which they have the more readily complied as the Bishop of Nova Scotia had recommended it soon after he was made assistant, and his character and conduct since justly entitle him to this mark of the Society's appreciation and favour.' Two of the outlying parishes of which he had charge he could visit only once a year, so extensive was his mission.
In October, 1818, Mr Scovil had a severe attack of typhoid fever and though he was able to return to his duties on Christmas Day, his constitution never fully recovered from its effects. In 1826 the Bishop of Nova Scotia wrote: 'Kings County was blessed in its early settlement with the zealous pastoral labours of the late Mr. Scovil, a most valuable and primitive missionary, who planted the Church around him deeply and firmly.There are many appreciative notices of the work of the Rev. Elias Scovil scattered through the various ecclesiastical records of the province.
In the vestry room of Trinity Church, Kingston, is a tablet with the inscription:
In Memory,
of
The Revd Elias Scovil
who as a Missionary of
The Ven. Society
P. G. F. ministered during
38 years to this parish;
From 1803 as assistant
To His Father
The Revd James Scovil,
At whose death in 1808
He succeeded as Rector
and having dischared the
Pastoral Office with fidelity
He died Feb. 10th 1841 in the
70th year of his age and
the 40th of
his ministry.
