Harwood Sturtevant (June 30, 1888 – April 16, 1977) was the Episcopal bishop of the Diocese of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA.
Born June 30, 1888, in Michigan, Harwood Sturtevant grew up in Delavan, Wisconsin where he graduated from high school. He attended the University of Michigan, where he was Phi Beta Kappa and Western Theological Seminary (now Seabury-Western) at Evanston, Illinois where he received a Doctor of Divinity degree. He was married to Mary M. Williams who together had one son, Harwood, Jr. and two daughters, Rebecca and Mary Virginia.
The Rt. Rev. William Walter Webb, Bishop of Milwaukee, ordained him deacon and priest in 1915. From 1915 to 1918, he served as Chaplain at St. Alban’s School for Boys and St. Mary’s School for Girls at Knoxville, Illinois and Vicar of Trinity Episcopal Church, Monmouth, Illinois. From 1918 to 1919 he served as Assistant and Canon at All Saints' Cathedral, Milwaukee and as a voluntary Chaplain in the United States Navy. From 1919 to 1929, he served as rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Racine, including duties as Warden at Racine College from 1928 to 1929, and as a member of the Standing Committee and Board of Examiners for the Diocese of Milwaukee.
On St. Andrew’s Day, November 30, 1929, Bishop Reginald Heber Weller of Bishop Fond du Lac, William Walter Webb, Bishop of Milwaukee, and Sheldon M. Griswold, Bishop of Chicago consecrated him Bishop Coadjutor for the Diocese of Fond du Lac. The Sisters of the Holy Nativity presented the new Bishop with the Pectoral Cross which originally belonged to Bishop Charles Chapman Grafton. He served as Coadjutor for four years until Bishop Weller retired in November 1933, during which time he lived in Appleton, Wisconsin. Bishop Sturtevant served as the Fourth Bishop of the Diocese of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, during a time where the scars of the Great Depression and the wounds of a World War were inflicted on the world and the diocese. He was a bishop associate of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament.
