The Cadle Mission, an Episcopal boarding school that operated in Allouez, Wisconsin, between 1827 and 1839, was named for its charter superintendent, the Rev.
[2][3] Its boarders were mostly the children of Native Americans or "half-breeds", according to documents held by the Wisconsin State Historical Society.
By 1831, the Cadle Mission housed 129 children between the ages of 4 and 14 from ten tribes, according to memoirs of the editor of the Green Bay Intelligencer, Andrew Ellis.
The French settlers in Green Bay "disliked the enterprise both because it was a Protestant mission and because it did not accord with their notion of the fitness of things," according to the diaries of "Journal of An Episcopalian Missionary's Tour to Green Bay, 1834," by Jackson Kemper, a bishop and missionary sent from New York to check up on Cadle's performance.
The mission's area spanned about from what is now West Miramar Drive south to Whitney Way, Richard Stolz of Allouez said.
