Henry Jewell

Henry Jewell was a Universalist minister who served as pastor of the First Universalist Church of Cincinnati, Ohio, around 1850. A companion from youth of the Kentucky Universalist preacher Enoch M. Pingree, he compiled the memorial volume Life and Writings of Rev. Enoch M. Pingree (1850) after Pingree's death at age thirty-two. Little else about his life has been recorded.

Enoch Merrill Pingree burned briefly and brightly: a Universalist debater and pastor in Cincinnati and Louisville who met the orthodox champions of the West in a string of celebrated contests and died at thirty-one. Jewell's memorial volume, with selections from his writings, preserves the meteor of western Universalism — and reads as a companion to the western debates elsewhere in this collection.
