John Wesley Olmstead
OLMSTEAD, John Wesley, clergyman, born in Saratoga county, New York, 13 November, 1816. He did not receive a regular classical training, but the honorary decree of A M. was conferred on him by Yale in 1854, and that of D. D. by Rochester university in 1863. After serving for several years as pastor of Baptist churches in Little Falls, New York, and Chelsea, Massachusetts, he became, in 1846, editor of the "Christian Reflector" in Boston. On the union of this paper with "The Watchman," in 1848, he took editorial control of the consolidated journals, and continued in that post until 1877. In 1878 he established "The Watchtower," a Baptist journal in New York, but subsequently returned to "The Watchman," of which he is now editor-in-chief.
