History Biographical: 

The Reverend Canon Frederick W. Colloton, D. D. was born 1877 August 9 in Aylmer, Ontario.  Before becoming a priest, he served as a honorary Lay-Reader at Victoria Mines, Ontario.  He entered Trinity College, Toronto in 1909, where he graduated with his degree in Theology in 1913.  Colloton later took a B. A. from King University, Halifax in 1925; in the same year he graduated from Trinity again with a B.Div. in Hebrew.  In 1951, Trinity College conferred an honorary Doctor of Divinity on Colloton.

Ordained 1914 June 7 and priested 1915 May 30, Colloton served for short periods in Cobalt, Coniston, New Liskeard and Port Arthur, Ontario.  He was appointed as Secretary to Archbishop George Thorneloe in 1917.  After Thorneloe's retirement, he served as Chaplain and assistant to Bishops Smith, Kingston, and Wright.  His most challenging work was as Treasurer of the Diocese of Algoma between 1920 and 1955, stewarding the diocese's finances through the Great Depression and the Second World War.  Colloton was also made Canon of St. Luke's Cathedral, Sault Ste. Marie in 1928.

Colloton was recognized as the historian of the Diocese of Algoma, publishing many papers in learned journals on Church History and corresponding widely with historians, archivists and priests across Canada.  In addition, he served as the Editor of the Algoma Missionary News (now the Algoma Anglican) for twenty-five years. 

Colloton passed away at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario on 1963 July 14 at the age of 85.
