Mrs. Vernon gave birth to a son and daughter, and died of a blood malignancy on August 23, 1903. Fr. Vernon never remarried, and raised his two children as a single priest. His daughter Alice Frances Vernon became a nun of the Community of Saint Mary as Sister Mary Regina.

He began duties as rector of St. Mark's Church, Philadelphia on October 1, 1920, and took a prominent role in the American Anglo-Catholic Congress movement of the next two decades; he was rector of St. Mark's until his death at Episcopal Hospital in Philadelphia from overwork and Parkinson's Disease in 1944.
