        History

        Samuel Henry Middleton was born in 1884 in Burton-on-Trent, England. In 1905, he came to Alberta to ranch east of Pincher Creek. While in Alberta, he became Anglican missionary; Middleton served as Headmaster of St. Paul's Anglican Residential School on the Kainai Nation Reserve. In 1911, he was ordained by the Bishop of Calgary, and he became Bishop's Chaplain in 1916. In 1924, he was made Canon of Calgary Cathedral in 1924. From 1924 to 1939, he served as Rural Dean of Lethbridge. In 1943, he served as Archdeacon of Lethbridge. While on the Kainai Nation Reserve, he studied the Siksika language and produced literature on both Kainai and Siksika history and culture. Under his and his wife Kathleen Underwood’s direction, a new St. Paul’s School opened on the reserve in 1925. The Middletons had three children: Charles Samuel, Sophie “Allison” (d. 1999), and Verdun “Hunt”. Middleton held membership with the Rotary Club and the Masons.
