From Tamie at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tamie&id=I439 :
Bishop Holland Nimmons McTyeire's early schooling took place in a one room schoolhouse and by private tutor. He then attended Cokesbury Academy, Abbeville Col, SC and at age 20 graduated from Randolph-Macon College, VA, remaining there one year more as a tutor. Ordained in 1844 to preach in the Methodist Episcopal Church, he held posts throughout the south in such places as Williamsburg, VA; New Orleans, LA; Mobile, AL and several towns in Georgia and Mississippi.
After marrying in 1847, Amelia Townsend of Mobile, AL, he continues to preach during which time he founded McTyeire School, now Young Harris College in North Georgia; in 1858 he was made editor of the Christian Advocate of the Methodist Publishing House. transferred to Alabama until 1866 when he was appointed Senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church Episcopal Church South and it was after this time that he made his greatest contribution to the church and to education.
Working tirelessly, the Bishop consolidated and strengthened the Methodist Church which had been torn assunder by the Civil War. As a young preacher, he had preached to both black and white congregations. Then following the war, he was the leader of progressive reforms, advocating "lay representation" as before; then the controlling bodies of the Methodist Church had been exclusively clerical. In the process,he became known as the "fighting bishop." He was one of the chief commissioners in the formation of the African Methodist Episcopal Church as a distinct body and was instrumental in turning over to it assests of over one million dollars and in committing the Methodist Church to its support. He was also instrumental in raising money for the Methodist Church to establish a school for the higher learning of Chinese women which was named McTyrie School in his honor. There is no evidence that he personally went to China.
As the author of many books, articles and discourses, the Bishop was the moving force in persuading Commodore Vanderbilt to endow a small college in Nashville with a very large sum which he was able to do with the help of his wife who was first cousin to the wife of Vanderbilt. The Commodore held the Bishop in the highest esteem, commenting that he would have made a very fine railroad lawyer. Thus, in 1873, the small college, became fully accredited Vanderbilt University and a Vanderbilt's stipulation Bishop McTyeire was appointed life-time President of the Board of Trustees with full veto powers and of which he was guiding spirit for fifteen years after its founding. The Commodore also stipulated that the Bishop and his wife were to be furnished a house on the University grounds for as long as they should live.
