=======================
Hurlburt (Hurlbut, Hurlbert), William Henry. (Charleston, South Carolina, July 3, 1827--September 4, 1895, Cadenabbia, Lake Como, Italy). His family name is spelled Hurlburt in records at Charleston, but at Harvard he was registered as Hurlbut, and in later years he changed the spelling to Hurlbert. He graduated from Harvard College in 1847 and from the Divinity School in 1849. He preached in Unitarian pulpits for a few months, but was never ordained as a settled minister. He studied at the Harvard Law School for a year, then turned to journalism in New York City. After 1883, he spent most of his time in Europe, his last few years in Italy. As a student at Harvard he was a contemporary of Samuel Longfellow and Samuel Johnson and contributed three hymns to their Book of Hymns, edition of 1848, which they also included in their Hymns of the Spirit, 1864. In both books his surname is spelled Hurlbut.
