Henry Kemble Oliver was born on November 24, 1800, in Beverly, Massachussets. He traced his ancestry from Thomas Oliver, who emigrated to America in 1632 and settled in Boston not far from the present Old South Church on Washington Street. The Rev. Daniel Oliver, a graduate of Dartmouth in 1785, was his father, and Elizabeth Kemble of Boston his mother.
From the Boston Latin School Henry Oliver went to Phillips Academy at Andover, divided his college course between Harvard and Dartmouth, and graduated in 1818 from the latter. Harvard granted him the degrees of A. B. and A. M. in 1862, placing his name with the class of 1818.
Henry Oliver began his teaching career in Salem as usher of the Latin Grammar School and in 1827 he became the first master of its English High School. Owing to his interest in mathematics, he had his senior classes compute the times of all the total eclipses visible in the United States for the last seventy years of the century. In 1830 he erected on Federal Street in Salem a building for an academy and for five years conducted a school for boys, converting it then into a school for girls. He devoted twenty-five years to school work in that city. In 1830 he was one of the committee of seven who prepared the plan which resulted in the founding of the American Institute of Instruction, a forerunner of the National Education Association, and in 1858-59 he was agent for the state board of education.
From 1844 to 1848 Oliver was adjutant-general of the Massachusetts militia. His preparation for this office began in 1821 when he entered the Salem Light Infantry. Twelve years later he was lieutenant-colonel of the 6th Massachusetts Infantry and was soon promoted to its colonelcy. In the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston he gained a captaincy by 1846. It was during the period of his state service that the Mexican War occurred, and it fell to him to raise the only volunteer regiment to go to Mexico from New England, known as the 16t Massachusetts Volunteers. During this time he was also a member of the board of visitors for West Point. For ten years, 1848-58, he served as superintendent of the Atlantic Cotton Mills in Lawrence. To provide for the better education of his employees he proposed a library for their use. He offered one hundred volumes and a loan of fifty dollars for new purchases and in a short time the number of volumes reached 3, 500. He added bathing rooms to the mills and provided free lectures and concerts for its employees. From 1860 to 1865, during the years of the Civil War, he was treasurer of the state. During that time he handled almost eighty thousand dollars of the state's money at an annual salary of $2, 300.
While still a young boy Oliver sang in a Boston church, and at the age of twenty-three he began his long career as an organist, serving two years at St. Peter's Church in Salem, two in the Barton Square Church, twenty in the North Church, and twelve in the Unitarian Church in Lawrence. He organized the Salem Mozart Association, serving as its president, organist, and director; was a member of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society, the Salem Oratorio Society, and the Salem Glee Club; and an honorary member of the Portland Haydn Society. He wrote church music and in 1848, with two others, joined in publishing The National Lyre, which contained many of his own compositions. In 1860 he published Oliver's Collection of Hymn and Psalm Tunes, followed in 1875 by Original Hymn Tunes, dedicated to the Salem Oratorio Society. "Federal Street" is his best known tune. The climax of his musical career may be said to have occurred at the Peace Jubilee in Boston on June 25, 1872, when he was called from his place among the basses of the Salem Choral Society group to conduct the singing of his "Federal Street, " set to his own words, "Hail gentle peace, " and rendered by 20, 000 voices. During the centennial year he was given a place at the exposition in Philadelphia as a judge of instruments of precision and of music.
Oliver also published in 1830 a work on the construction and use of mathematical instruments, and in 1868 Genealogy of Descendants of Thomas Oliver of Bristol, England, and of Boston, New England.
The crowning work of Oliver's life was the organization and development of the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor, a pioneer institution of its kind. It was authorized by a resolve of the legislature, approved June 23, 1869, and on the July 31 following he was appointed its first chief. His first report, covering the seven months to March 1870, dealt largely with wages and hours of labor. Subsequent reports showed cost of living, habits and education of families, and factory conditions. Oliver made four reports as chief of this bureau and in 1873 retired to spend the later years of his life at his home in Salem. He was mayor of that city from 1877 to 1880. He was a member of the North Street Unitarian Church in Salem and from its altar his public funeral was conducted.
Henry Oliver served as the 5th Mayor of Lawrence, Massachusetts (1859–1859); 21st Mayor of Salem, Massachusetts (1877–1880); and 26th Massachusetts Treasurer (1886–1889). Henry Oliver published Oliver's Collection of Hymn and Psalm Tunes (1860); Original Hymn Tunes (1875); Genealogy of Descendants of Thomas Oliver of Bristol, England, and of Boston, New England (1868). Oliver organized the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor and made four reports as chief of this bureau.
