Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Information about this mission remains sketchy, and no records have survived. In 1888, a newspaper notice indicates that Bishop Knickerbacker preached there with the assistance of the Rev. Thomas D. Kemp of Plymouth. In 1899, when the new diocese opened, the Rev. William Wirt Raymond of Plymouth held monthly services in Rochester. In 1902, Raymond reported only five families and 13 souls in the mission, with a total of $85 collected. No further reports appear again until 1913, when the Ven. James A. Boynton reopened and repaired the church. Services were held sporadically, but by 1921 Archdeacon White reported the mission having only three members and closing.
