Judge Henry Harrington
1838 - 1904
The sudden death of Judge Henry Harrington, of New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY], while on a visit to relatives in Minneapolis, was a great shock to his Norwich friends and acquaintances. he had not been feeling well for several months and last spring was especially ill. About three weeks ago, accompanied by Mrs. Harrington, their daughter, Katherine, and Mr. and Mrs. Dykes, of New Berlin, the judge went to Minneapolis, where he had a brother in the grain elevator business. His death followed an operation. Judge Harrington was born in New Lisbon, Otsego county, October 17, 1838. He was educated at Cooperstown Seminary, and taught for a time before beginning his study of law in the office of Hon. James E. Dewey in Cherry Valley, N.Y. While thus employed there came the call for volunteers to protect the Union. To the call he quickly responded by joining Berdan's sharpshooters, which regiment did effective service in the early stage of the civil war. The miasma of the southern swamps laid the foundation for the impaired health with which he was afterwards handicapped. Returning to New Berlin he engaged in the law business and built up a successful practice in Chenango and adjoining counties. Few men in the community or county held as high a place in the esteem and confidence of his fellow men. He was the confidential adviser of many people whose interests he zealously guarded. He was a safe counselor, a warm friend and the embodiment of integrity. He was several times chosen supervisor of his town, was a valuable member of the Board of Education, and a member of the Phoebe's Lodge, F.&A.M., and also of the chapter. In 1880 he was elected special county judge and held the office until his death. he was a candidate and no doubt would have been re-elected to the office he has so highly honored for so long a period. The remains reached New Berlin on Thursday evening. Funeral services were held from his late home this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. J. Malcolm Smith officiating. The Masonic service was read at the grave.
