Background
Joseph Henry Gilmore son of Joseph Albree and Ann (Whipple) Gilmore. He was born on 29 Apr 1834, in Boston, Massachusets, and died in Rochester, New York.

In 1862, while preaching for a short time in Philadelphia, Gilmore wrote almost impromptu, somewhat as a relief from his depression over the Civil War, the hymn, “He Leadeth Me. ”
From 1862 to 1864, he was minister in Fisherville, later called Penacook, New Hampshire. There on Thanksgiving Day 1863, he preached the sermon Hath God Forgotten to he Gracious? (1864), in which he declared that he had no more pity for the war-victims of the South than for any “lost soul that might have salvation for the asking. ”
During 1864-65, he became private secretary to his father and at the same time editor of the Concord Daily Monitor.
From 1865 to 1867, he preached in Rochester, from 1867 to 1868, he taught Hebrew in the Rochester Theological Seminary, and from 1868 to 1908, when he was retired, he was professor of rhetoric, logic, and English in the University of Rochester.
