Bishop of Cheyenne, 1912-1951

Official blazon
English	blazon wanted

Impaled. Dexter: Per fess embattled gules and or, two crosses-pattees counterchanged. Sinister: Argent, an oak-tree on a mound vert; on a chief azure a crescent between two stars argent.

Origin/meaning

As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.

In the personal side the crescent in chief has been taken from a Scottish McGovern family to symbolise the last name of the bishop. I have no information on the meaning of the oak tree or the stars.
