Richard H. Wilmer was born on March 15, 1816, in Alexandria, Virginia, then a part of the District of Columbia, the third child of Rev. William Holland Wilmer and his second wife, Marion Hannah Cox.
After his father's death in 1827 the boy secured his schooling under straitened circumstances.
He graduated from Yale College in 1836 and the Theological Seminary in Virginia.
Three years later, he was ordered deacon, March 31, 1839, and priested, April 19, 1840, in the Protestant Episcopal Church, and for the most of twenty-two years ministered in rural parishes in Virginia.
In 1843 he had charge for one year of St. James Church, Wilmington, North Carolina. He grew steadily in power and reputation as a preacher, pastor, and leader.
In 1859 his diocese elected him a deputy to the General Convention of the Episcopal Church. At the beginning of the Civil War Wilmer was ardently active and outspoken in his loyalty to the South.
On November 21, 1861, he was elected bishop of the diocese of Alabama. Since the dioceses in the seceded states had withdrawn from the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States consent was given to his consecration by a majority of dioceses and bishops in the Southern states, acting autonomously, and he was consecrated on March 6, 1862, in St. Paul's Church, Richmond. He took part in the organization of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Confederate States and returned with his diocese into union with the Episcopal Church in the United States after the collapse of the Confederacy. Wilmer met the problems of diocesan administration in a war-torn state with an earnestness and power that won for him the loyalty and love of his clergy and people; he ministered to the soldiers in camp and hospital, provided for the care of orphaned children, and gave attention to the religious education of negroes. At the end of the war, when Alabama had become a military district, he came into conflict with the military authority by directing his clergy not to use the prayer for the president and all in civil authority until civil authority should be restored in consequence he and his clergy were suspended from all official duties and their churches closed by order of the commanding general.
Strong protest was made, and finally, in January 1866, the military order was rescinded by direction of President Johnson. During the difficult period of reconstruction and the years that followed, facing the widespread poverty of his people and later the problems arising with the development of industry, he labored as a wise and able administrator.
He published frequent pastoral letters, the most noteworthy being that of June 20, 1865, concerning the prayer for those in civil authority. Others, especially letters on "Efficacy of Prayer" and "Confession of Sin not Profession of Religion, " were distributed in large numbers.
In 1890 the Bishop's increasing infirmities necessitated the election of a coadjutor who relieved him of a part of his burden during the last ten years of his life. He died on June 14, 1900, at the age of eighty-four and was buried in the cemetery of Emmanuel Church at Brook Hill in Henrico County, Virginia.
Richard Hooker Wilmer was a prominent religious figure, who was the only bishop to be consecrated by the Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America (PECCSA). His ability was recognized by the degree of Doctor of Laws conferred upon him by the University of Cambridge when he attended the first Lambeth Conference in 1867. The community of Wilmer, Alabama is named in his honor.
