BADGER, Milton, clergyman, born in Coventry, Connecticut, 6 May 1800 ; died in Madison, Connecticut, 1 March 1873. He was graduated at Yale with honor in 1823. After spending a year in teaching in New Canaan, Connecticut, he began his theological studies at Andover theological seminary, but in 1826 removed to New Haven to become a tutor in Yale College, and finished his preparation for the ministry there. He was ordained 3 January 1828, as pastor of the South Congregational Church in Andover, Massachusetts, and remained there until 1835, when he became associate secretary of the American home missionary society. He was soon, by the resignation of Dr. Peters, placed in the position of senior secretary, and for thirty-four years he performed the duties of his office with great faithfulness and skill. He possessed a vigorous constitution, but the constant pressure of his work proved too much for him, and in 1869 he was compelled, by the manifestations of the disease that finally ended his life, to withdraw from active duties.
