Henry Heady

1838 - 1896

Henry Heady, who died in Binghamton [Broome Co., NY] last week, was once a resident of this place.  The late P.L. Matthewson and the above were schoolboys together.  In after years they formed a partnership and bought what was known as the Hughston farm and tannery and continued the business for several years.  When the rebellion broke out Mr. Heady enlisted, and they divided partnership, Mr. Heady taking the tannery, which he sold to his uncle, Smith Heady.  He served in the war until he lost an arm.  At the close of the war he began the study of law and held several responsible offices under the government up to the time of his death.  Mr. Matthewson took the farm, on which he lived up to the time of his death, which occurred last July.  So thus one by one we pass to that land whence no weary traveler returneth.
