Raimundo de Ovies
Summary
Raimundo de Ovies was an English-born American religious leader, author, columnist, and humanitarian. Born in Liverpool, England in 1877, he was dean of the Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta from 1928 to his retirement in 1947. De Ovies was a columnist for the Atlanta Constitution from 1932 to 1949 as well as host of a number of radio shows on WSB-Radio (now WSB-AM). He was the author of four books:
Raimundo George Cassidy Saulus de Coreno Muniz de Ovies was born on January 8, 1877, in Liverpool, England, to Julian and Eleanor (Cassidy) de Ovies. Julian de Ovies was born in Spain and worked as a foreign correspondent, but as a young man had served as an officer in the Carlist Army in Spain and as a result was banished from that country. In 1887 the de Ovies family emigrated from Liverpool to New York City, but it is unknown as to the reasons why the family came to America. Upon coming to United States the de Ovies family lived in New York City and Boston and while living in Boston de Ovies prepared for college at the Boston Latin School. De Ovies would leave Boston in 1896 for the University of the South where he studied theology.
During his time at Sewanee de Ovies's ministry began with his ordination to the deaconate in 1900 and three years later he was ordained as a minister. De Ovies's first assignment was as rector for Grace Church in Sheffield, Alabama, from 1901 to 1903. On June 18, 1902, he would marry Elizabeth Eggleston DuBose, the daughter of Robert Marion DuBose, longtime Treasurer of the university and descended from a number of prominent South Carolina families. The years following his marriage were ones of constant moving: 18 months as rector of St. John's Church in Ensley, Alabama, and after that setting up St. Andrew's Church in Birmingham, Alabama. While at St. Andrew's de Ovies began to demonstrate his civic-mindedness, teaming up with the Rev. Carl Hencknell, the Rector of All Saints, and Dr. James E. Dedman, the City of Birmingham health officer in 1911 to start the Holy Innocents Hospital.
