Lemuel Gregory Olmsted graduated in 1830 at the Rensselaer Institute,
a scientific school located at Troy, N. Y., under the charge of Prof. Amos
Eaton. For a short time he filled the position of Prof, of Chemistry and
Natural History in Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa. He afterwards pursued
his studies at Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., where he graduated in the
Class of 1834, and continued his preparations for the ministry at Princeton
and Allegheny Theo. Seminaries. He was ordained in the Presbyterian
ministry in 1837 and entered upon active service. A considerable portion of
his life was spent in classical and scientific teaching. In 1864, he received the
degree of LL. D. from Hanover College, Ind. He spent some years in Europe
in the pursuit of his favorite studies, and travelled extensively through the
several states of the Union, engaged in rock and mineral examinations. He
was a frequent contributor to scientific periodicals and his collections in illustration
of all branches of Natural History were quite extensive. His last
active service in the ministry was Chaplain in the U. S. Army. Upon the
close of the Civil War, he removed to the farm in Moreau, Saratoga County,
which was formerly his father's residence, and there pursued his researches,
principally in archeology, officiating as occasion offered in preaching and
lecturing in the surrounding villages and country. He was buried in the
family burying ground on the farm.
