Frederick Hosmer, was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, on October 16, 1840, the son of Charles and Susan Hosmer, and a descendant of James Hosmer of Hawkhurst, Kent, England, who came to America in 1635 and settled in Concord, Massachussets. For some years during Frederick's boyhood, his father was an unsuccessful farmer, and thereafter engaged in sundry occupations.
Frederick prepared for college in his native town and graduated from Harvard in 1862. He had taught school before and during his college course, and from 1862 to 1864 was master of Houghton School, Bolton, Massachussets, and from 1864 to 1866, of Adams School, Dorchester, now Harris School, Boston. He then entered the Harvard Divinity School from which he graduated in 1869.
Ordained to the Unitarian ministry on October 28, 1869, he became associated with Rev. Joseph Allen in the pastorate of the First Congregational Church, Unitarian, Northboro, Massachussets In 1872 he accepted a call to the Second Congregational Church, Unitarian, Quincy, Ill. Resigning in April 1877, he spent eighteen months in travel and study, and then from 1878 to 1892 was pastor of the Church of the Unity, Cleveland, Ohio. After a brief term as general missionary of the Western Unitarian Conference, with headquarters in Chicago, he was pastor in St. Louis until 1899. The later years of his life were spent in Berkeley, Cal. , where he was in charge of the First Unitarian Church from 1900 to 1904.
Like his friend, William Channing Gannett, with whom he was closely associated, he was both a radical liberal and a mystic; a thinker and a poet. As the latter he enriched private devotion and public worship. Of his numerous hymns some have come into general use both in this country and abroad. The latest Unitarian hymnal contains more than thirty. With Gannett he published The Thought of God in Hymns and Poems (three series, 1885, 1904, and 1918). He also prepared The Way of Life (1877), a service book for Sunday schools, and edited, in collaboration with Gannett and J. Vila Blake, Unity Hymns and Carols (1880), and with the former a much enlarged edition of the same in 1911. In the spring of 1908 he gave a series of ten lectures in church hymnody at the Harvard Divinity School.
