Rev Henry Goodwin Smith b. 8 Jan 1860 New York City, M. A., A. C., 1884; Doctorate of Divinity, Maryville, 1895; Wabash, 1899. Psi Upsilon. Prepared at Emerson's Collegiate Academy, N. Y. City; Columbia, 1877-78; Amherst College, 1878-81. Union Theological Seminary, 1881-84; conducted the first religious service held in Devil's Lake, (then Creel City) North Dakota on May 29, 1883 and helped form the Westminster Presbyterian Church there; post-graduate work at Union and Andover Theological Seminaries, 1884-85; ordained, Ap. 15, 1886; pastor at the Presbyterian Church, Freehold, N. J., 1886-96; m. 3 Dec 1891 at Freehold Seminary, Freehold, New Jersey to Helen Randolph Foreman, b. 1869. The 4 Dec, 1891 Jersey City News article reports there we're "eleven hundred invited guests"..."one of the most brilliant of the season's social events."
Henry G. Smith then studied at the University of Edinburgh, 1896 and was Professor of Systematic Theology at Lane Theological Seminary, Ohio, 1896-1903;
After serving as Pastor at the Unitarian Church in Ottawa, Canada (1907-09) he accepted the pastorate of the Second Congregational Society (Unitarian), Northampton, MA Sept. 23, 1909- June, 1923. Reverend Smith and his wife were enthusiastic supporters of church, civic and cultural affairs in Northampton, but they made their home in Goshen from May to December. H.G.S. had known the highland hilltown of Goshen since he first vacationed there as a child; on 21 July, 1858, his father, working at Union Theological Seminary in N.Y.C. wrote to his wife Elizabeth Lee (Allen) Smith in Goshen:
..."I think the children will enjoy Goshen, and the rides and the pond. Tell them they must grow plump and rosy on it"...
So each year the Rev H.G.S. household moved back up to Goshen including two cows from D. & I. August to supply milk for the summer. Because of the long stay, the Smith children attended Goshen's North School for part of the year. Pastor Smith joined them whenever he could, in the first years traveling to Williamsburg by trolley and hiring a livery to take him to Goshen. After 1910 he kept a car in the barn for the Summers use.
Pastor Smith's strong convictions caused dissension when he upheld the right of Sacco and Vanzetti to a retrial and he left Northampton to accept a call in the Unitarian Church in Troy, N.Y., where he stayed until his retirement.
Four Minute Man, 1917-18. From notes of his lectures, William S. Karr prepared two volumes of Dr Smith's theological writings, Introduction to Christian Theology (1883) and System of Christian Theology (1884)(revised and published this book written by his father). Dr Smith contributed articles on Calvin, Kant, Pantheism, Miracles, Reformed Churches, Schelling and Hegel to the American C'yclopaedia, and contributed to McClintock and Strong's Cyclopaedia; and was editor of the American Theological Review (1859 sqq.), both in its original form and after it became the American Presbyterian and Theological Review and, later, the Presbyterian Quarterly and Princeton Review.
