B. C. Unseld

1843 - 1923 Hymnal Number: 4 Composer of "[O fisherman toiling in shallows]" in Rich in Blessing Benjamin Carl Unseld, 1843-1923 Born: Oc­to­ber 18, 1843, Shep­herd­stown, West Vir­gin­ia. Died: No­vem­ber 19, 1923. Buried: Elm­wood Ceme­te­ry, Shep­herd­stown, West Vir­gin­ia. After leav­ing school at age 14, Un­seld worked as a clerk in a coun­try store. He re­ceived his first mu­sic­al in­struct­ion around age 15, from a com­pan­ion who had at­tend­ed a sing­ing school. He was shown the rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the scale in the old Car­mi­na Sac­ra, and had it sung for him. At the friend’s sug­gest­ion, he got per­mis­sion from his pas­tor to prac­tice on the church or­gan. Since both boys worked, their on­ly chance to prac­tice was af­ter the store closed at 9:00 p.m., and oc­casion­al­ly at noon­time. They went to the church to­ge­ther and took turns, one at the key­board and the other at the bel­lows. Shortly af­ter the Bat­tle of An­tie­tam in Sep­tem­ber 1862, some of which Un­seld wit­nessed, he left home and be­came a book­keep­er in the gen­er­al of­fic­es of a rail­road in Co­lum­bia, Penn­syl­van­ia. He sang in a choir, and gained fur­ther prac­tice read­ing mu­sic. He rent­ed a mel­o­de­on and spent much time in his room im­pro­vis­ing on it. He bought a co­py of Wood­bur­y’s Har­mo­ny and Mu­sic­al Com­po­si­tion, and stu­died it as well as he could with­out a teach­er. He ac­cept­ed an in­vi­ta­tion to play the or­gan in the lo­cal Meth­od­ist church, on the con­di­tion that he re­ceived the tunes ear­ly in the week so he could learn them. This was his first po­si­tion as an or­ga­nist. In the spring of 1866, he en­tered the Mu­sic­al In­sti­tute in Pro­vi­dence, Rhode Is­land, con­duct­ed by Eben Tour­jée (found­er of the New Eng­land Con­serv­a­to­ry in Bos­ton, Mass­a­chu­setts, and fa­ther of Liz­zie Tour­jée). There he stu­died voice, pi­a­no, or­gan, and har­mo­ny. Af­ter learn­ing of Un­seld’s bus­i­ness ex­per­i­ence, Dr. Tour­jée made him sec­re­ta­ry of the school; in 1867, Un­seld be­came the first sec­re­ta­ry of the New Eng­land Con­ser­va­to­ry. Starting in 1870, Un­seld at­tend­ed schools led by The­o­dore F. Sew­ard. There he met George Webb, Low­ell Mason, James Mc­Gran­a­han, Charles Case, and other not­a­bles in the mu­sic com­mun­i­ty. In 1874, Uns­eld taught at Fisk Un­i­ver­si­ty in Nash­ville, Ten­nes­see, and helped train Fisk’s Ju­bi­lee Sing­ers for their Eur­o­pe­an trip. In 1877 and 1878, he was or­gan­ist and choir mas­ter at St. James’ Epis­co­pal Church, Lan­cas­ter, Penn­syl­van­ia. In 1879, Un­seld moved to New York Ci­ty, and for 15 years taught, led choirs, com­posed and pub­lished. In New York, his mu­sic­al head­quar­ters was the pub­lish­ing house of Big­low & Main Com­pa­ny, where he was in al­most dai­ly con­tact with the pop­u­lar com­pos­ers and teach­ers of the day: Ira San­key, Ho­ra­tio Palm­er, Hu­bert Main, Ro­bert Low­ry, et al. In 1894, Un­seld moved to Cin­cin­na­ti, Ohio, and worked as an ed­it­or for the Fill­more Mu­sic House. In 1898, he moved to Day­ton, Ohio, and worked in a sim­i­lar ca­pa­ci­ty for the Lo­renz Pub­lishing Com­pa­ny. He moved back to New York Ci­ty in 1901, then to Ha­gers­town, Ma­ry­land in 1905. He and his wife Sal­lie were ap­par­ent­ly liv­ing in Ten­nes­see as of 1920. Un­seld’s works in­clude: The Chor­al Stan­dard (New York: Fill­more Bro­thers, 1895) Progress in Song, with E. T. Hil­de­brand (Cin­cin­na­ti, Ohio: The Fill­more Bro­thers Com­pa­ny) Unseld was in­duct­ed in­to the South­ern Gos­pel Mu­sic As­so­ci­a­tion Hall of Fame in 2004.

William Fawcett

1842 - 1901 Person Name: Rev. William Fawcett, D. D. Hymnal Number: 43 Author of "I Long to Work for Thee" in Rich in Blessing Rev. William Fawcett, D.D. William Fawcett’s life of nearly three score years separates itself into three period of twenty years each, the first in Canada, the second in Iowa, the third in the Rock River Conference. The most important, of course, were those formative days in Canada where he was born in 1842. It was inevitable that he should preach. It was in the blood and he could no more escape it than he could the power of gravitation. After the completion of his studies in the Old Dominion the finger of providence seemed to beckon him westward and he cast in his lot with the growing state of Iowa, and in 1863 joined Upper Iowa Conference. His first appointment was on the Buckingham Circuit, and during the first year the young preacher travelled 4,800 miles on horseback. He was ordained deacon by Bishop Ames in September, 1863, and sent to Grundy Centre Circuit. After serving at West Union, Anamosa, Davenport and McGregor, he was assigned to Cedar Rapids where he built the beautiful St. Paul’s Church which stil holds him in loving remembrance. Soon Chicago Methodism sighted this new luminary and transferred the plane of his orbit from Dubuque to Grace Church. During his three year’s ministry, then the limit, his wife died. Next assigned to Park Avenue, Chicago, his five years pastorate culminated in the present handsome stone structure, his most fitting monument. On Feb. 22, 1886, he was united in marriage by Bishop Merrill to Mrs. Nellie Whipple, for ten years organist at Grace Church. Two sons were born to them, both dying in infancy. In 1890 he became pastor of First Church, Chicago, where he served for three years. His health at this time, which long before had been seriously impaired, made it necessary for him to give up active work, but after traveling and acting as associate pastor at South Park Avenue, he took up regular pastoral work at River Forest in 1896, where a devoted wife and a devoted church enabled him to make full proof of his ministry until his death. excerpts from Journal and Yearbook By Methodist Episcopal Church.
