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)
Rev. George H. Emerson, D. D. George Homer Emerson, D. D., was born in Roxbury, Mass., September 3, 1822, and died in Salem, Mass., March 24, 1898. His early educational advantages in the schools were limited, but he was a quick and accurate observer of human nature, and marked out for himself a line of study of books that resulted in his becoming one of the best-informed men of his time. The religious atmosphere of the home of his childhood was permeated with the most rigid Baptist ideas, but whatever impression these made on his mind was easily dissipated when, as a young clerk in a hardware store in Lowell, Mass., he began to attend on the preaching of Rev. Abel C. Thomas, then pastor of one of the Universalist churches in that new and stirring town. He was soon converted to Universalism, and was persuaded by his pastor that he ought to prepare for the ministry. His special studies were under the direction of Mr. Thomas. He was ordained at Laporte, O., in the summer of 1843
