KID: O’IAary MR‘ ilov. _Je|ln llystant llonorod At Illinois University — The many friends of Rev. John Distant. will be pleased to know that at the loath usnivarsary of the founding of Illinois western University, at Blooming‘ xllinc-l:.. the “ y degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him. Mn Dlrltent is a native of Illn- alie in Prince County. In his youth there were few opportunities. with no iinenciairesourcea. oix secur- ing an education. Therefore. what- ‘evor success one achieved in his ‘ucatio 1 , uits could only be obtained by preseverance and cour- age against almost insurmountable obstacles. . - To earn money fol an education, Mr. Dystant engaged in many types of work. such as working in a lob- ster iactory; in the saw mill in the lumberwoods; on a farm; with a construction crew with pick and shovel, and during one winter lie dld.the chores at the home of a. well to do fa.rmer in Blddeiord for his room and board He first attended school in tho Biddeiord school. This school, a one xoom building, was located in an open field between Ellerslie run Biddeford: there were no modern convcnlences- outside not even a wood shed. and few inside. There were a few homo made desks lion; the two sides of the building, while the center of the building was fili- ed with backiess benches. The drinking water was brought from I |l>l‘in¢ by the pupils, which in- volved I. distance of oils mile for the round trip The new community of “Hard- scrabble" was the bounds of the Biddeford school district and the children of that community were perrnittad to go to school only whrr. there were sufficient seats for them. Belonging to no school district, and with nearly two miles to walk, me chance of securing an education was very small. The course or study in the clcl Biddeford school was very com- prehensive. it embraced every sub- ject from the Alphabet to the sixth Reader. All the teachers were ex- cqltionally well eqlpped for their work and no work was too exact- ing in their efforts in instructing their pupils. In this one room building. during the winter months, upwards of sixty boys and girls were in attendance. The two outstanding teacher. in this era were John A Ives. who be- came Rev. John A. Ives and Lucy Maude Montgomery of Island fame. _AfI>er’"graduating" from this open country school Mr. Dystsnt enter- Cd Mount Allison University where he spent two years. He was ordain- ed to the Methodist Ministry in Charlottetown in June 1808. He held two Dutorates in New Brunswick. and two on the "Island", viz; The pleasant Valley circuit. with Bun- ter River, wheatloy River. Stanley Bridge and Granville. and on the Kensington and Freetown. In 1900 Dr. Dyetant moved in Michigan. and during his Ministry there in the Methodist church. was appointed to some of the most important positions in the church. in Michigan he took up his edu- cation work with Illinois Wesleyan University and esmed the degrees of PILB. MA. and Pl-ID. and re- oently the honorary degree of DJ: A few yam use Mr. Dyatant came a. member of the Mlchllan state Bar. Mr. Dystant lives in Highland Park Michigan. His bro- ther.
