Biographical history
Charles Stewart Henry was born in Hatley Township in 1820 to Samuel Stewart, a farmer, and his wife, Esther Bacon. He studied watchmaking in Montreal and then returned to Lennoxville to establish a watchmaking business with a small machine shop in the back. In 1846, he married Cynthia Bowen (ca. 1820-1901). They had four children together: George (1847-1908), Charles (1852-1853), Ella (1855) and Katherine (a.k.a. Katie) Ellen (1856-1934). Charles Henry died in 1901 and is buried in Malvern Cemetery.
George Henry worked as a watchmaker at the Waltham Watch Company in the United States as a young man but returned to Lennoxville to work in the family business: C. S. Henry & Son. Later, he lived and worked as a watchmaker in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Around the later 1890s, George and his family moved back to Lennoxville, where he continued to make watches until his death in 1908. George married Elizabeth Burrill (ca. 1849-1901) and they had two children: Charles William (b. 1876) and Edward George (b. 1877).
Dr. Edward (a.k.a. Ned) G. Henry received a B.A. from Bishop's University and went on to receive his M.D. from McGill University in 1905. Around 1906, he established his medical practice in Lennoxville. In 1937, Edward moved his practice to Gould, Quebec and retired in 1959. With his first wife, Ethel Ward, he had three children: Edward Turriff, Donald and Douglas. With his second wife, Mary Morrison, he had one child: George. Edward died in 1977 and is buried in the Elmwood Cemetery.
