Rexford’s family moved to Wisconsin in 1855 and settled in the town of Ellington. He received his early education in the Meager county schools and at Lawrence College, which later awarded him a Bachelor of Literature degree. His literary gifts became evident early in life, and his first verses were published in the New York Ledger when he was 14 years old.
In 1890, Rexford married Mrs. Harriet Bauman Harsh. He served as town clerk of Bovina for many years, and during Grover Cleveland’s first administration was postmaster of Shiocton, Wisconsin.
Rexford composed many hymns, including ones used by Ira Sankey, Edwin Excell, Charles Gabriel, and Billy Sunday. One of his best known secular works was the poem “Silver Threads Among the Gold,” which was turned into a song that sold over three million copies (music by Hart Danks).
