Author: From Wikipedia
BIO From Wikipedia
PHOTO USED WITH PERMISSION FROM The OFFICIAL Ellen G. White Website
(www.WhiteEstate.org).
Dudley Marvin Canright (18401919) was a pastor in the Seventh-day Adventist
Church for 22 years, who later left the church and became one of its severest
critics. He joined the church in 1859, at the age of 19, and rose through the
ministry to a position of prominence on the General Conference, a committee of
Seventh-day Adventist Church leaders.
Early life:
Dudley Marvin Canright was born in a farmhouse near Kinderhook, Michigan, on
September 22, 1840, to Hiram and Loretta Canright. In 1859, at the age of 19,
Dudley journeyed eastwards to attend the Albion Academy, in Albion, New York.
To support himself, he worked as a farmhand for Elder Roswell F. Cottrell, a
Seventh-day Adventist minister. In the summer of 1859, he attended a camp
meeting, held by Elder James White, near Albion. There, he accepted the
doctrine of the Advent Message, and was soon baptized into the Seventh-day
Adventist Church. Dudley briefly served as secretary to Elder White, who
encouraged him to enter the ministry. For 5 years, after converting his entire
family to Adventism, Dudley served as an evangelist for the Seventh-day
Adventist Church, traveling and preaching across the midwestern U.S. In 1865,
at the age of 24, Dudley Canright was ordained by James White and J. N.
Loughborough, in a service held at Battle Creek.
Dudley continued his evangelistic career, preaching throughout New England. In
1867, he married Lucretia Cranson, a 19-year old orphan, partially brought up
by Ellen G. White. Mr. and Mrs. Canright had 3 children, 2 of whom survived
infancy.
The life of a traveling minister's wife was harsh for Mrs. Canright, and in
1879, she succumbed to tuberculosis. Two years later, Dudley was re-married, to
a Miss Lucy Hadden. Their union produced 4 children, 3 of whom survived infancy.
Controversy with the Adventist Church:
For 20 years, Dudley labored as a minister and evangelist for the Seventh-day
Adventist Church across the United States. He was also a notable contributor to
the Adventist periodical, the Review and Herald (now the Adventist Review). At
the 1876 General Conference Session he was 1 of 3 men elected to the General
Conference Executive Committee, the most prestigious committee in the
denomination. In 1878, Dudley was elected President of the Sabbath School
Association of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. From his high position in the
church, he began to eye the highest office of all, that of the presidency of
the denomination.
Dudley was frequently called upon by Elder James White, and other leaders of
the Seventh-day Adventist Church, to debate ministers of other denominations,
generally on the question of the seventh-day Sabbath:
"In 1874 Elder White had arranged to have a big debate held at Napa City,
Calif., between Elder Miles Grant, of Boston, Mass., and one of our ministers."
(Seventh-day Adventism Renounced, by D.M. Canright, 1914).
In the 1880s, Dudley gradually became disillusioned with what he considered
autocratic behavior on the parts of Elder and Mrs. White. In 1880, he retired
briefly from the ministry and journeyed through the Midwest, as an elocution
teacher and lecturer. After a year of itinerant living, he returned to Battle
Creek, Michigan, where he reconciled himself with Elder and Mrs. White.
Canright's Attestation of Faith in the Seventh-day Adventist Church:
In 1881, back as an Seventh-day Adventist minister, Canright remarried, and
continued his life as a traveling evangelist for another year. Then, in 1882,
he retired from the ministry and bought a farm in Otsego, Michigan. Once again,
he began to have doubts about the White family, particularly about Ellen
White's purported "gift of prophecy". He wavered repeatedly, several times
emerging from his early retirement to hold meetings and preach. Throughout the
early 1880s, his relations with Mrs. White remained amicable.
Then, quite abruptly, in 1887, Dudley and his wife, Lucy, left the Seventh-day
Adventist Church. It was a decision he had been mulling over for a year. In
severing his relations with his home church, the Otsego Seventh-day Adventist
Church, Dudley stated the following, as recorded by the church clerk:
"That he had come to a point where he no longer believed that the Ten
Commandments were binding upon Christians and had given up the Law, the
Sabbath, the Messages, the Sanctuary, our position upon [the] U.S. in prophecy,
the Testimonies, health reform, the ordinances of humility. He also said that
he did not believe that the Papacy had changed the Sabbath. And though he did
not directly state it, his language intimated that he would probably keep
Sunday.
"He thinks that Seventh-day Adventists are too narrow in their ideas, and that
in quoting so much as they do from the Old Testament are going back into the
moonlight rather than experiencing the sunlight of the gospel of Christ. He
thought we were exalting the law above Christ. Also has no faith in the
missionary work as conducted by our people, feels as if it is not the way God
designed to do the work.
"He still claimed to believe that the coming of Christ was near, making the
same application of Daniel 2 and 7 and Matthew 24 that he always had, but did
not believe that there was to be any special message preceding Christs second
coming in the sense in which Seventh-day Adventists teach." Church clerks
record, February 17, 1887, Otsego, Michigan Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Life after Adventism:
Having left the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Dudley and his family briefly
considered joining the Methodist Church, but finally settled upon the Baptist
Church. On March 5, 1887, he, his wife and their daughter Veva (Genevieve) were
accepted into the Otsego Baptist Church. On the 17th he was given a license to
preach, and 2 days later, was ordained and made the Church's salaried pastor.
He remained in this position until 1889.
In September of 1890, Dudley and his family left Otsego, moving to Grand
Rapids, Michigan. There, he became Pastor Emeritus of the Berean Baptist
Church, an office he held for only a year. During his time as pastor of these
churches, he occupied himself in writing his 413-page critique, Seventh-day
Adventism Renounced, which was published in 1889. In 1915, he and his brother
Jasper attended the funeral of Ellen G. White, during which he reportedly
exclaimed, "There is a noble Christian woman gone!"
In March 1916, Canright accompanied an old Adventist friend, J.H. Morrison, to
a church workers' meeting in Battle Creek. Afterward, they went to Morrison's
house. Following that visit, Canright walked to the local Baptist church, where
he had a key to the basement. Unaware that extensive remodeling had taken
place, and arriving at the church after dark, Canright fell through an open
hole into the basement, broke his leg, and remained there for two days. He was
taken to the local hospital, and then to the Battle Creek Sanitarium, where his
leg was amputated. He spent the last 3 years of his life with his daughter
Genevieve, who had converted to Christian Science. Canright died in May 1919.
Two months later, his final book, The Life of Mrs. E.G. White, was published.

The Whites had several family pictures taken around this time (1863-1865).
Perhaps the loss of Henry in 1863, tightened the family bonds among the
remaining members. Edson (on the right) was now the eldest son, turning 16 in
1865. William, or "Willie," as he was affectionately called by family and
friends, was five years younger.
