(the following is an exerpt from Wikipedia) Reverend Edwin Gardener Weed was elected as the third Bishop of the Diocese of Florida in 1886. As Florida continued to grow, and became obvious that the state needed to be split into two dioceses. The southern boundary of the diocese included Levy, Alachua, Putnam & St. Johns counties. When the change was approved in 1892, the Missionary Jurisdiction of Southern Florida was created. After the split, the Diocese of Florida contained 43 missions and 13 parishes, but fewer than 3,000 members. Bishop Weed decided that Jacksonville should be the seat of the diocese because transportation was more readily available, so he moved the Episcopal residence from St. Augustine by 1895. Severe freezes in 1896 & 1897 destroyed most of the citrus industry in North Florida and the Great Fire of 1901 in Jacksonville left the diocese broke. The following year, however, all parishes and missions made their Diocesan payments in full. There were more than 50 parishes and missions in 1906, served by 33 clergy. The Woman's Auxiliary gained importance and became a major source of funds during the early 1900s. Their efforts helped keep many churches from closing their doors. Bishop Weed died in 1924.

The death of Rt. Rev. Edwin Gardner Weed at his home in Jacksonville on the evening of January 18th, brought deep sorrow to every parish and mission in the Diocese of Florida. For thirty-eight years he had been our beloved Bishop, and his general friendliness had endeared him to all; that the day of his annual visitation was looked forward to by the whole community as the best day in the year.
He was so earnest and unsparing of himself in his work for the Master at all times and in all places that he made us feel he was giving his life to us and for us; and in his passing we are filled with the sense of our irreparable loss. But to him the "one clear call" has come with its "Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
