     Insight as to the contributions of Northerners may be glimpsed from an examination of the Florida work of the Methodist Episcopal Church, often called the northern Methodist Church. Based upon church policy promulgated during and soon after the Civil War, Methodist ministers from the North involved themselves in every aspect of Reconstruction life-religion, education, civil rights, economic development, and politics. From a base in Jacksonville, these individuals-principal among them the Reverend John Sanford Swaim-achieved important successes and exerted a lasting influence beyond that justified by their small numbers.

----------------------
When Presiding Elder Lewis reported his views in the summer of 1865, John Sanford Swaim already was working for the church in Florida. Born in Chatham, New Jersey, on May 1, 1806, Swaim had served as an ordained minister for over thirty years.11 His career had been a distinguished one and had led to his selection in 1856 as conference delegate to the church's supreme governing body, the General Assembly.12 Late in 1862, however, Swaim's daughter died of tuberculosis, and thereafter the minister's own health declined.13 By the spring of 1864, due to respiratory problems, he had been classified among the inactive clergy.14 The condition persisted until his death a decade later. 15

The decline of Swaim's health coincided with the beginnings of an effort by New Jersey Bishop Edmund S. Janes to send disabled clergy to warmer climates. Hoping that the southern environment would prove more healthy for his ministers, Janes assigned them to serve as pastors to Federal troops and to freed blacks. In 1864, he included Swaim in the program and posted him to Jacksonville .16 Swaim was joined there in August by his brother-in-law, Wesley Robertson, who also was a disabled minister. Unfortunately, Robertson's presence in Florida was brief. He contracted typhoid fever and died on November 3, 1864.17

That Swaim would be sent as far south as Florida was unusual. Prior to the war, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, had exercised a "monopoly" over Methodism in the state.

Rev. Matthias Freeman Swaim (M)
(16. Aug. 1834 - Jan. 1879), #401746
Pop-up Pedigree

     Rev. Matthias Freeman Swaim was born on 16. Aug. 1834 at New York. He was the son of Rev. John S. Swaim and Catherine T. (Unknown). Rev. Matthias Freeman Swaim married Josephine Van Dorn, daughter of Ferdinand Van Dorn and Phebe Southard Woodward, on 14. Apr. 1859.
Rev. Matthias Freeman Swaim and Josephine Van Dorn appeared on the census of 31. Aug. 1860 at with her parents, Bernards Twp., Somerset County, New Jersey; personal property 500.00. Rev. Matthias Freeman Swaim was shown in the census on 31. Aug. 1860 as an architecht. In the census on 31. Aug. 1860 Rev. Matthias Freeman Swaim was named Matthias F. Swain. He died in Jan. 1879 at Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, at age 44. Although Jacksonville's northern Methodists were deeply interested in black education, their contributions extended as well to public schooling for white children. T. Frederick Davis has noted that Duval High School opened in 1875 with John Swaim's son, Matthias Freeman Swaim, as its first principal. Another local historian has suggested that previous to that date a public elementary school known as the Duval Graded High School was in operation.68 Likely, the school actually was a secondary school as early as September 30, 1874, when the younger Swaim was appointed "Principal of Duval High School." The appointment was a popular one, and the local newspaper described Swaim as "a gentleman of fine education and culture [who] will fill the position with honor and dignity."

The hopes placed in Matthias Swaim's abilities were realized. Two years later, another Jacksonville paper noted that the public schools were held in "high esteem by the people, proof of the ability of the management." An 1888 assessment of high schools in Florida found the few that existed during the 1870s to be of a quality that could not be "compared favorably with schools in the other states." The report added, however, "An exception to that should be made for the high school in Jacksonville." The quality of its programs was "scarcely inferior to the colleges of the state."

This story of educational development reveals a pattern that also occurred in the building of the city's northern Methodist churches. Florida's Methodist Episcopal Church, in fulfilling its institutional commitment to education, put the "last first" and the "first last." At a time when institutions of higher education were scarce, the church founded Cookman Institute before Duval High School, although both opened in the same building, Trinity M. E. Church . It also ensured that both were led by competently trained M. E. ministers. Samuel Darnell was a graduate of Drew Seminary, now Drew University. Matthias Swaim, also a northern Methodist minister, studied at Pennington Seminary, presently a New Jersey preparatory school.

Matthias Swaim served at Duval High School into the 1876-77 school year. He remained in the community through 1878, but his whereabouts thereafter are unknown.
