After studies at Harvard College and the General Theological Seminary, he was ordained deacon in 1899 and priest in 1900; he was consecrated to the episcopate on September 22, 1921 following work as rector of the former Grace Episcopal Church in Buffalo, New York.

For service in the First World War, he received the Purple Heart, Distinguished Service Cross, British Military Cross, and the Croix de Guerre. After retirement in 1943, he was rejected at the age of 69 for military enlistment and subsequently lived at the Buffalo Club until his death.

His brother was New York State Attorney General Hamilton Ward, Jr..
