Henry Vosburgh was born in Kinderhook, New York, July 28, 1827. He was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church when eight years of age. He entered Genesee Wesleyan Seminary at Lima, Livingston County, New York, in 1848, and Genesee College in 1850. He afterwards entered Wesleyan University at Middletown, Middlesex County, Connecticut, where he graduated in 1855 with honors. After this he became Principal in succession of the following seminaries and academies: Dansville, Carlisle, Walworth, Newark and Webster. He was also for five years Superintendent of the City Schools at Mt. Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa. He joined the East Genesee Conference on probation in 1868, and was received in full connection and ordained Deacon in 1870, by Bishop Matthew Simpson, and ordained Elder in 1872, by Bishop William Logan Harris. His appointments were as follows: 1868, Hammondsport; 1870, Tyrone; 1873, Cohocton; 1875, Tonawanda; 1878, Mansfield, Pennsylvania; 1879, Middleport; 1880, Scottsville; 1882, Cohocton; 1883, Perry; 1885, Naples; 1887, Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania; 1889, Kendall; 1891, Chili; 1892, Belmont; 1894, Whitesville; 1897, Belfast. He was superannuated in 1899, but his period of superannuation was brief for he was called to his reward from his family home in Oramel on the 29th day of March 1900, having reached the age of 72 years, 9 months and 6 days. His work was truly successful. He found only seven members at Hammondsport, his first charge, and during the two years of his pastorate the membership was largely increased and a new parsonage built. He had revivals at Tyrone, Cohocton, Tonawanda, Naples and Kendall. He also built a parsonage at Scottsville and rebuilt the church at Perry. Brother Vosburgh was a man of scholarly habits, and positive opinions. He was candid and conservative in dealing with the questions of the day. He was an original thinker, a person of good sense and of solid but unassuming piety. He was strongly attached to the church of his choice and to his friends. The thirty-one years of his ministry were thoroughly and unreservedly devoted to his work. His remains were laid away at Lawrenceville, the home of his son. He is also survived by one daughter and his estimable wife, sister of the late Gen. James Wood of Geneseo, Livingston County, New York.
