Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he graduated from Meadville Theological School in 1867 and Harvard Divinity School in 1869. He was ordained as a Unitarian minister and served churches in Chicago; Cincinnati, Ohio ; Newport , Rhode Island ; Oakland, California ; and Los Angeles. In the early 1900s he returned to Massachusetts and worked in several churches in metropolitan Boston. He retired to Berkeley, California by 1926. On June 22, 1880, he offered the opening invocation at the 1880 Democratic National Convention, calling the United States "an asylum and a refuge for the distressed and downtrodden throughout the world," and praying that "all sectional divisions and differences may cease forever among us." Author Henry Southwick Perkins ( 1833-1914) authored over 30 Christian hymns , and wrote many hymnals and other song books.
