Music at Trinity — “Pipes & Glory”Nothing can compare to the experience of music. While God’s word renews the mind, music provides us with an experience that moves the spirit and restores the soul.We have a vision for music at Trinity. Music has played an enormous role in the life of Trinity Cathedral as well asdowntown San Jose. In the past, many a soul felt transported and had their souls restored as they experienced the fullglory of the historic 1894 Hook and Hastings organ. Not very long ago, ethereal sounds of tenderness could crescendointo mighty waves of power, as our organ proclaimed God’s wonders.Unfortunately, our organ, the beloved source of inspiration, is crippled. Dead notes abound, not from damaged pipes,but from the moving parts that make those pipes sound forth in glory. Some of these moving parts are weakened byage and after 125 years, some of that movement isn’t as fluid and limber as it was lo so many years ago. Routine worship services are a challenge as the organist navigates around the malfunctioning parts of the organ.We are encouraged with the thought and realization of resurrecting the failing instrument that has brought so muchpeace, contentment and joy to so many. A regeneration of this instrument will spread those by-products not to theparishoners of Trinity but will become a venue for exciting and riveting concerts.How you can help the situation: first, make a tax-deductible donation in any amount at any time via trinitysj.org/pipesandglory. Second, enjoy one of the four concerts we are planning to offer to assist in this effort. Please join us forone of these delightful Sunday afternoon programs.Sunday Afternoon Concerts at Trinity Cathedral, San Jose—see page 7 for the program listingSpend your Sunday afternoons in the glorious ambiance of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in San Jose.

The Smith Family WindowThe Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world carries the triumphant banner into the sanctuary, bestowingmercy as the Communion liturgy resounds. (John 1:29) The Paschal Lamb of Passover tradition in Judaism commemorates the people’s Exodus from slavery in the days of Moses. Agnus Dei is in the liturgy of Christianity since the time ofPaul, placed between the Lord’s Prayer and the Eucharist.1The Lamb alone portrayed Jesus in Early Christian art, which was changed by Constantine in 707 A.D. to be the humanform Jesus on the sacrificial cross. But the Lamb imagery remains, the sun behind His head which is often interpreted asa halo. The bottom element depicts the golden candlestick representing seven churches of Biblical history. (Revelations1:20)The Lamb of God with a banner of a yellow cross—exactly like the top element here—is illustrated in Encyclopedia Britannica by the Jesuit Parish ofSt. Ignatius of Loyola in Massachusetts. Trinity’s window is at the NE cornerof the north transept, which was added when the church was cut in two andenlarged in 1876.Photograph by Michael Barry taken before the 8 a.m. service in order toequalize light on July 18, 2018The artist’s first training was traditional portraiture. He went from his home in WestBloomfield (now Montclair), New Jersey to learn the glass business in New Rochelle, NewYork, in the mid 1840s. This location was adjacent to the Bolton home studio in Pelham.2Owen Doremus is likely to have produced elements for his windows with the Boltons’influence as well as his own artistic Belgian heritage and personal maturation.Doremus was the first warden for the St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Montclair which wasbuilt in 1860. Those windows are no longer extant, but he created memorial windows forBishop of New Jersey George Washington Doane at his death in 1859 which are intact atthe Chapel of the Holy Innocents, St. Mary’s Hall Doane Academy in Burlington.3By 1863, the time of the order for eighteen stained glass windows including a massivefigured triple set by Trinity Episcopal Parish in San Jose, Owen Doremus was a prolificmanufacturer who employed an English architect and a French artist who lived at theNew Jersey home studio. The fifteen Doremus windows at Trinity Cathedral in San Joseare not known to historians, whose work was published in the 1990s (i.e., before Googlesearching). One of the purposes of this article series is to bring knowledge of Trinity’swindows into the world of historic stained glass registry.The memorialized J[osephine] H. and M[ary] A. Smith are among six African Americanfamilies in the Trinity Episcopal Church congregation formed in 1861 - 1864. In order toappreciate the significance of these six families we consider first the demographic data ofthe population of San Jose in 1860. On the final page of the enumeration, the AssistantMarshal P. B. Tully wrote:It is utterly impossible to distinguish the boundaries of the City of San Jose fromthe County of Santa Clara owing to the fact that the ‘Corporate limits’ of the City arevery large and embrace a great many fields, farms and orchards But from the best(Continued on page 10)The CarillonPage 9

The Smith Family Window, continued(Continued from page 9)information I can gather I am inclined to the belief that the actual population of the ‘City Proper’ is about 3,000souls, all told.4The 1860 census data which specifies the “color” of the Free Inhabitants is unusable in its aggregate notation becausethere were three disparate categories combined in counting. The only way to identify the African American populationis to read the manuscript census and make notes, which this writer did in 2014. There were fewer than twenty families,and less than 100 African Americans among the 3,000 souls specified by P. J. Tully in 1860.5The nucleus of the African Americans was Peter Williams Cassey of Philadelphia, an abolitionist who emigrated to SanFrancisco about 1853, where he assisted fugitives from slavery and organized black Californians for political actionwhile operating a barber business with a partner. An active participant in the rescue of Archy Lee, who had been returned to slavery by order of the California Supreme Court in 1858, the Casseys (including his wife Annie B., their marriage date unknown) went to Portland, Oregon with other black activists. Their move to San Jose was between the 1860Census enumeration in Portland and the first Baptism performed by the Rector of Trinity Episcopal Parish Rev. SylvesterEtheridge in 1861, the infant Amy Henrietta Cassey, “colored.”Alfred J. White and his wife Rebecca—who was Annie Cassey’s older sister—came to San Jose in 1857, establishing a barber business at the Auzerais Hotel. The Jacob White family and the Joseph Cassey family in Philadelphia,noted abolitionists and successful business people, were good friends. “Mrs. White” is mentioned in AfricanAmerican sources in active assistance to fugitives from slavery in San Jose with Peter Williams Cassey. Both sisterswere born in South Carolina, as was their mother, Henrietta Lockwood, who is found as a Free Head of Householdin the Census of 1830 in Charleston. Alfred and Rebecca lived in Springfield, Massachusetts before emigrating toCalifornia with Peter Cassey in 1853. Alfred J. White passed away in 1873. His barber business at the Auzerais Hotel was in partnership for some time with the younger William A. Smith, who with his wife Harriet (another Pennsylvanian) was a founding Trinity communicant. Their daughter was named Willette Cassey Smith. It is likely thatWilliam A. and Harriet E. Smith were the donors of the memorial to Josephine H. Smith and Mary Ann Smith.Church historian Joan C. De Lisle describes Josephine as age 24, and Mary as her godmother.Reverend William Ingraham Kip was rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Albany, New York, for fifteen years when hewas offered a transfer to Baltimore in 1853. He was adamant in refusal to go to Maryland, where slaveholders were incharge of the government and the churches except for the African Methodist Episcopal denomination. The EpiscopalBishop’s Council created the position of Missionary Bishop to California for Rev. Kip, where he arrived in 1854.6 By 1857the missions and congregations were growing as fast as the rush for gold. William Ingraham Kip was ordained in thenew office, Bishop of California.One of Bishop Kip’s priorities was establishment of missions among African Americans in California. He welcomed PeterWilliams Cassey and the six African American families into Trinity Episcopal Parish and immediately began support forestablishment of St. Philip’s Mission for Colored in San Jose and St. Philip’s Academy, a secondary school for students ofcolor denied access to public schools in California by a racial segregation clause in the state constitution.7 The abolitionist editor of the San Jose Mercury, J. J. Owen of Syracuse, New York, was in public support of the school and citizenshiprights of the African Americans as well.In 1866 Bishop Kip ordained Peter Williams Cassey into the Episcopal clergy as a deacon. His mentoring continued withsupport for the formal organization of the Phoenixian Institute in San Jose which was managed and funded by local African Americans. The 1870 reverse directory of San Jose lists the mission and school at 372-379 San Antonio Street, Peter Williams Cassey as “missionary” and Jacob Overton as “superintendent.” The structure was formerly the Bascom(Continued on page 11)The CarillonPage 10

The San Jose Unified School District contributed tax allocations for racially separate instruction.In 1872 Christ Church Mission for Colored headed by P. W. Cassey opened in San Francisco, reporting to the ProtestantEpiscopal Board of Missions in New York.8 Bishop Kip invited Rev. Peter Williams Cassey to preach at Grace Cathedral inSan Francisco. Annie B. Cassey, who managed the school in San Jose and was chief instructor while her husband wasoccupied with Christ Church Mission in San Francisco, passed away on September 5, 1875. Peter, with their 14-year olddaughter, her grandmother Henrietta Lockwood, and an adopted niece moved to Alameda. The Reverend DeaconCassey was formative for another African American Episcopal congregation, St. Augustine’s in Oakland.9At the age of fifty, Peter Williams Cassey was called to serve the St. Cyprian’s Episcopal congregation at NewBern, North Carolina, that was in use as a school by the Freedmen’s Bureau. He was rector in charge there from1881 to 1894, marrying much-younger teacher Ella Clark from the nearby normal school and raising their largefamily.10 At the age of seventy, in 1900, Rev. Peter Cassey was assigned as rector in charge of the new churchbuilt in New England style for the African American St. Cyprian’s Episcopal congregation in St. Augustine, Florida.For the next seventeen years Rev. Deacon Peter Williams Cassey negotiated the shoals of segregation by publicaccommodation and diligent attention to occupational and professional advancement for his people.Descendants of the Cassey family are in leadership of the tribute and scholarship of the legacy of their illustriousforbears. The longtime search and development by Rev. Jerry Drino of the Diocese of El Camino Real is notablybearing fruit in placement of Peter Williams Cassey and Annie Besant Cassey among Holy Men and Women.
