"Rev. Charles Cleveland (1772-1872), a clergyman and philanthropist ... In 1816 he organized the Society for the Moral and Religious Instruction of the Poor at his home. He also labored to collect funds for a mission-house, which was dedicated in May 1821 and in 1830 became a missionary to the Boston poor. Charles received a license to preach in 1835 and was ordained an evangelist on July 10, 1838. Throughout his life, Charles, who eventually became known as Father Cleveland, continued to engage in charitable works, including serving as the Chaplain at a House of Correction for both men and women."
