have been recognized as National Historic Landmarks. Death Doane died in 1859. He was buried in Saint Mary's Episcopal Churchyard in Burlington. Legacy Among those whom Doane had ordained during his lifetime was Joseph Wolff, a Jewish Christian missionary. Doane's biography and bibliography, Life and Writings of George Washington Doane (4 vols, New York, 1860–1861), was edited by his son, William Croswell Doane (1832–1913). He followed his father into the clergy and was called as the first Bishop of Albany. The fact that both Doane and his son became "bishops [was] a situation possibly not unique but certainly rare enough to be remarked upon." Founded in 1837 and now known as Doane Academy, the private school he founded is coeducational, serving grades Pre-K through 12, and has a substantial endowment to ensure its future. It was the first academic, church run school for girls in the United States.
