Bulfinch, Stephen Greenleaf, a Unitarian
minister, was born in Boston June 18, 1809.
His father, Charles Bulfinch, a well-known
architect, was the designer of the national
capitol at Washington, where he lived and
where his son Stephen was graduated at
Columbian College in 1827. He was also a
graduate of the Theological School at Cambridge,
Mass., 1830. He was ordained in
1831, and began his ministry at Augusta,
Ga. Later he was the pastor of Unitarian
Churches in several places. Dr. Bulfinch
died at East Cambridge, Mass., October
12, 1870. The Boston Transcript just after
his decease said: "Of a beautiful spirit,
earnest convictions, sympathetic and devout
nature, he won the respect and love of
the people wherever he served." Most of
his poems are found in his Lays of the Gospel, Boston, 1845.
