Simeon Arthur Huston

Simeon Arthur Huston (called Arthur; December 10, 1876 – December 11, 1963) was the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia from 1925 to 1947. During his episcopate bankers foreclosed on the cathedral church of the diocese, but he led a successful effort to pay off the indebtedness.

Bishop Huston was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the younger son of Simeon Atchley Huston (1845 – 1883) and the former Matilda Bogen (1848 – 1927). His mother was a daughter of Peter Bogen, a prominent pork-packer in Cincinnati, and a younger sister of Louise Bogen, the wife of General Godfrey Weitzel. His father was a partner in the Bogen pork-packing firm; after his father's early death, his mother became postmaster of the Cincinnati suburb of Hartwell.

In 1900 Huston received a B.A. degree and membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. Remaining in Gambier, he next attended Bexley Theological Seminary from which he graduated in 1903.

Ordained a deacon in 1903 and a priest in 1904, Huston served as curate at Trinity Church in Columbus, Ohio, from 1903 to 1907 and at St. Paul's Cathedral in Detroit, Michigan, from 1907 to 1913.

From 1913 to 1919 Huston was rector of St. Mark's Church in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he also served as president of the Wyoming State Board of Education from 1917 to 1919. In 1919 he was called to Christ Church in Baltimore, Maryland, and while in Baltimore, he studied at Johns Hopkins University in 1920 and 1921. Between 1921 and 1925 he was rector of St. Mark's Church in San Antonio, Texas.
