Family
Bishop
On September 29, 1906, Scadding was consecrated Bishop of Oregon. Scadding replaced Benjamin Wistar Morris, who had passed that same year. Morris's old age at the end of his episcopate had led to issues in the diocese. Scadding found the episcopal residence in disrepair and, 1910, commissioned a new home. Both the old residence and the 1911-built structure were known as Bishopcroft.{{cite web|url=https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/0a36dbe8-e337-46f8-ae02-44e32f6a3c15|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Bishopcroft of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon|date=18 May 2000|publisher=National Park Service|access-date=24 February 2023}}
Death
Scadding died of pneumonia on March 29, 1914, in Portland, Oregon.
