• Notes

  Fletcher graduated from Williams College in 1911. He undertook his theological preparation at Hartford Seminary after which he became minister of the Trinitarian Congregational Church of New Bedford, Massachusetts. From New Bedford he became Executive Secretary of the City Missionary Society of Boston for eight years until his call to Immanuel Congregational Church, Hartford, Connecticut, in the fall of 1927. He served there until 1956. Fletcher was a man of strong convictions, upright in character and blessed with intense energy. Under his energetic and concerned leadership, an impressive array of new church groups and social ministries emerged. He left a deep imprint on the whole character of Immanuel.
