Edward W. Dunbar lived an interesting life, having been born in upstate New York, was a mariner on the whaling ship John for four years, traveling evangelical preacher at Camp Revivals, wrote many hymns, campaigned for the Temperance movement and Lincoln's re-election, and appears to have relations with women in many states where he lived and traveled. The last woman must have required him to marry, for he did, although his first wife was still alive. He was arrested and found guilty of polygamy and served 3 years and 8 months in Stillwater Penitentiary in Stillwater, Minnesota. Once we was released he was not heard of again until he died, seeking shelter in a jail, due to typhoid in Coffeyville, Kansas.
When Edward W. Dunbar died, he was buried in a pauper's grave in Coffeyville, Kansas. In May 1903 it was reported (Logan Republican, May 8 1903) that his body was being exhumed to be buried in family plot in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
There's a light in the window for thee, brother
Written in 1858
There's a light in the window for thee, brother,
There's a light in the window for thee;
A dear one has moved to the mansions above,
There's a light in the window for thee.
A mansion in Heaven we see,
And a light in the window for thee.
A mansion in Heaven we see,
And a light in the window for thee.
There's a crown, and a robe, and a palm, brother,
When from toil and from care you are free;
The Saviour has gone to prepare you a home,
With a light in the window for thee.
A mansion in Heaven we see,
And a light in the window for thee.
A mansion in Heaven we see,
And a light in the window for thee.
O watch, and be faithful, and pray, brother,
All your journey o'er life's troubled sea,
Though afflictions assail you, and storms beat severe,
There's a light in the window for thee.
A mansion in Heaven we see,
And a light in the window for thee.
A mansion in Heaven we see,
And a light in the window for thee.
Then on, perseveringly on, brother,
Till from conflict and suffering free;
Bright angels now beckon you over the stream,
There's a light in the window for thee.
A mansion in Heaven we see,
And a light in the window for thee.
A mansion in Heaven we see,
And a light in the window for thee.
