William O. Cushing (1823-1902)
|
Born: December 31, 1823, Hingham Center,
Massachusetts. Died: October 19, 1902, Lisbon Center, New York. Buried: Jones Cemetery (near Searsburg), New York. |
Cushing’s parents were Unitarians, and his early training was along these lines. After entering the ministry, his first pastorate was at Searsburg, New York. He married in 1854, and went on to serve in Auburn, Brooklyn, Buffalo, and Sparta, New York. After his wife died in 1870 and his health declined, he retired from the ministry and began writing hymns. He completed over 300 in his lifetime.
Cushing was an exemplary Christian, ever mindful of the suffering of others. Once he gave $1,000—all he had, an enormous sum in those days—to a blind girl so she could get an education.
