    W. Henry was an architect. He practised his profession in Portland, Maine, in Salem, and in Providence, R.I. In Salem, in partnership with Joseph C. Foster, he designed, among others, the Asiatic Bank Building, Grace Church, and the residence of John Bertram, Esq. In Providence, in partnership with Alfred Stone, he designed the "Wheaton and Anthony," "Woods" and "Elizabeth" business blocks, and the residences of Gov. Burnside and M.B. Lockwood.
    Coming to spend Sunday with his family, who were on a summer visit to Salem, he was one of the ill-fated occupants of the last car in the accomodation train at Revere, when it was "telescoped" by the engine of the express train overtaking it. Though not mangled in the collision, he received such injuries from the steam that he survived, mostly unconscious, but a few hours. His family lives at 114 Essex street, Salem. ...
