<p class="just">As a young man, Parker worked with his father as a farmer and mechanic. He entered Harvard College in 1820, but continued working at home. He attended Harvard Divinity School from 1834 to 1836, then became a Unitarian minister. He began pastoring in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1837. He received his master’s degree from Harvard in 1840, and moved to a church in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1846. He continued his writing, preaching, and lecturing until 1859, when bleeding in

the lungs (tuberculosis?) compelled him to seek relief in Europe. The effort was unsuccessful, though, as he died in Italy.</p>
