Henry K. Gerhard was a school teacher for ten years; later he followed the trade of carpenter. For many years he was a trustee of the Schwenkfelder Church. He was also one of the charter members of the Board of Trustees of Perkiomen Seminary. He was always deeply interested in education and church matters, and in his later years it was his delight to give of his time and energy in building up Perkiomen Seminary. As a mechanic he contributed many hours of his services gratuitously for the renovating of the school buildings. Many of his text books and school books are preserved in the Historical Library at Pennsburg, Pa.
