Notes |
Dr. Henry was interested in promoting healthy exercise. Circa 1900, he was an instructor at Bognor, Sydenham Township, Grey County, for the sport of manipulating swinging clubs. In the early 20th-century, "Indian Clubs" (medicine clubs) were popular as a genteel means of exercise for young ladies. In the 1901 census, Dr. Andrew E. Henry (b. May 2, 1867 in Ontario) was listed as a Physician at Bognor. He and his wife Annie and their family resided at William St., in Bognor from c. 1900-1905. In 1905, the Henry family moved to Saskatchewan. Dr. A. E. Henry (Edmund Henry) was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Henry and was born in Mono Township in 1867. He married Annie Young (b. 1869) in 1896. During the First World War, Dr. Henry served overseas with the Medical Corps. On his return, he served as a C.P.R. doctor at Ignace, Ontario, for several years, and then moved to Saskatchewan again. Dr. Edmund Henry died in February, 1945 in Regina, Saskatchewan (formerly the Henrys were at Estevan, Sask.). He and Annie had a son Herbert Henry (of Winnipeg), and a daughter Helen Henry of Regina. Another daughter, Frances Henry, had predeceased him in 1923. |
