General context
Born in 1800 at Williamstown, Charlottenburg Township, Upper Canada, Bethune belonged to the Church of England and was a close student and associate of John Strachan, the first Bishop of Toronto (1839-1867). Consecrated as Bishop Strachan's coadjutor in January 1867, Bethune took the title of Bishop of Niagara, which was still part of the diocese of Toronto at the time. Bishop Strachan died in November 1867, with Bishop Bethune inheriting the position of Bishop of Toronto. He adopted the signature "A. N. Toronto." Bishop Bethune died in Toronto, ON in 1879.
