Buried: Cedar Hill Cemetery, Hartford, Connecticut. Gallaudet was ordained to the diaconate June 16, 1850, and became an Episcopal priest in 1851. Among his achievements was the founding of St. Ann’s Church for Deaf Mutes in New York City in 1852, which in effect launched the Episcopalian mission to the deaf. He also founded the Gallaudet Home for Deaf-Mutes, near Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1885. Note: Gallaudet is often confused with his father, Dr. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, founder of the first American school for the deaf. Cyber Hymnal

William Daman

1540 - 1591 Hymnal Number: 201 Composer of "SOUTHWELL (Daman)" in The Cyber Hymnal Aliases: Damon; Damano; Demaunde; Damond; Dymond Born: ca.1540 Died: 1591 Damon was a foreign composer resident in England. He arrived probably in England in 1566 as a servant of Sir Thomas Sackville. In 1576 he became a recorder player at the Court of Elizabeth I. He was described as having been born in "Luke" and "Lewklande" and, on the assumption that these names refer to Luik or Liège, it has been inferred that he was a Walloon. However contemporary London records describe him as an Italian and a later reference refers to him having been born in "Luke in Italy", i.e. Lucca. His unanglicised name may have been Gulielmo (or Gulielmus) Damano. Daman died from the effects of an ulcer and was buried at St Peter-le-Poer, London, on 26 March 1591.

John Kent

1766 - 1843 Hymnal Number: 16128 Author of "Indulgent God! How Kind" in The Cyber Hymnal Kent, John, was born at Bideford, Devonshire, Dec. 1766, and died Nov. 15, 1843. As a working shipwright his opportunities for acquiring the education and polish necessary for the production of refined verse were naturally limited. His hymns are strongly worded, very earnest and simple, and intensely Calvinistic. A few were published in Samuel Reece's Collection, 1799. The first edition of his Collection of Original Gospel Hymns, was published in 1803, and the 10th edition, with "The Author's Experience," in verse, 264 hymns, 15 longer pieces, and a Life by his Son in 1861. The Calvinistic teaching so prominent in his hymns has restricted their use to a limited number of collections. The greatest use made of them in modern hymnbooks has been by Mr. Spurgeon (Our Own Hymn Book, 1866) and Mr. Snepp (Songs of Grace & Glory, 1872). In the following list the dates in brackets indicate the dates of publication:— 1. Before the Almighty began (1841). Election. 2. Betroth'd in love, ere time began (1803). Election. 3.
