History of the First Universalist Church in Somerville, Mass. Illustrated; a souvenir of the fiftieth anniversary celebrated February 15-21, 1904, Rev. George H. Emerson, D. D. (search)
Ohio and Kentucky, until 1849, when he moved to Massachusetts. While in Ohio, he edited, in 1845, the Ohio Universalist and Literary Companion, which was, in 1846, merged in the Western Evangelist, published in Buffalo, N. Y. As the agent of the Massachusetts Universalist Home Missionary Society, he preached in various parts of that state, organizing, and being for several years pastor of the church in Somerville, where for nine years he was also superintendent of the public schools. From 1858 to 1864 he edited the Universalist Quarterly. From November, 1862, to May, 1864, he was associated with Sylvanus Cobb, D. D., in editing the Trumpet and Christian Freeman. The name of the paper was changed to the Universalist in 1864, and Dr. Emerson was sole editor until 1867, when he moved to New York, where he edited the Christian Leader until 1872. At the same time he was pastor at Huntington. Returning to Boston in April, 1872, he resumed his connection with the Universalist, and

rs. L. H. Brown. In the early days of the society the meetings were held at the homes of the members. This was in the days of the chapel, and the basket of work was carried from place to place. After the building of the first church, which was afterwards destroyed by fire, the meetings were held in the vestry, and supper was partaken of by the ladies present, the gentlemen not putting in an appearance until evening. At the first supper which the writer remembers, which was subsequent to 1858, all were seated at an ordinary sized extension table, such as could be found in any dining-room. There were twelve or fourteen in all, our pastor, Rev. B. K. Russ, being of the number. Each one carried her own napkin, knife, fork, and spoon, and somebody was sure to have an extra one for the minister. The crockery was owned by the Sewing Circle. It all went up in smoke with the rest of the belongings of the church. The meetings of the society have been held once in two weeks, except d

nd until June, 1861, when a melodeon was purchased, a piano being substituted a year later. Sunday school concerts, as such, were unknown at first, but Exhibitions were held to which an admission was charged. These materially increased the treasury funds, evidently, as $200 were made on one occasion. A troublesome problem (which still remains unsolved) to increase the attendance at the teachers' meetings occasioned the changing of the gatherings from monthly to once in three months in 1858-1859, at which times essays were read, articles in denominational papers discussed, etc. In 1860 a clock was purchased at the expense of $5; and although our present clock is not the one, it might be, as much of its youthful fastness has disappeared, and it is inclined to be a little behind the times. For some purpose not made clear in the records, a number of slates were bought in 1860, probably for the use of the younger scholars. And an item in the June 10, 1861, record, requesting
