The oldest clergyman of the Episcopal church, an intimate friend of Phillips Brooks, died yesterday, in his 89th year, at 5 Walnut street, this city, where he spent his winters for many years.
He was born in Wladne, NY, a town founded by his father, Jacob Treadwell Walden, a New York merchant. his mother was a descendant of Thomas Willett, first English mayor of New York City. Mr. Walden
originally studied for the bar, but eventually turned to the church, and after a course in the General Theological Seminary, New York, was ordained in 1854. For the subsequent two years he was assistant and in charge of Trinity Church, Newark, NJ.
From 1857 to 1863 he was rector of Christ Church, Norwich, Ct.; from 1863 to 1868 St. Clement's, Philadelphia; from 1869 to 1872 St. Paul's Cathedral, Indianapolis; from 1873 to 1876 of St. Paul's Church (now St. Paul's Cathedral, Boston) and from 1882 to 1885 of St. Paul's, Minneapolis.
