W. R. Fayle

I believe the rector of Houston’s Methodist church left to affiliate with the northern denomination, working with Elias Dibble, and later became a judge in Reconstruction Houston.

Is he possibly the letter writer who signs his name “F.” in this 1866 issue.

A brief history of Methodism in Texas in the Southwestern Advocate signed by “W. R. F.” and praising the church’s interracial mission.
