Henry EASTERBROOK, business manager of the Farmer's Union Co-operative Association Store, Colfax, was born at Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England, April 22, 1856, and was educated in London, first in the private schools and subsequently in the City of London Middle Class School, an institution founded originally for the purpose of giving a first - class education to the sons of men in mercantile positions, afterward extended so as to offer similar advantages to the daughters of the upper middle class also. After finishing his education he entered the house of Blumberg & Co., of Cannon Street, London, one of the largest handlers of dry goods and notions, strictly first - class, in the city. There he had ample opportunity of becoming throughly acquainted with business management and for several years he enjoyed the confidence of his employers and the respect of the numerous staff of employees with whom he was daily brought in contact. In the fall of 1883 he left London for the States, joining George and Richard, his brothers (the latter now in business in Shreveport) in October of that year. Here he has divided his time between farming and teaching. In April, 1890, he was selected manager of the Alliance Store at Colfax, a position he still occupies. He has built up a considerable trade for the Union, whose interests he has strictly at heart. He has been in Louisiana about seven years and during that time he has made his way into confidence of all with whom he has had dealings. As a teacher he has a excellent reputation and he is a man of intelligence and reliability. He was married in London, in 1882, to Miss Alica A NORRIS, by whom he has three children: Harry Roland (born October 8, 1884) Maud Alice (born August 2, 1887), and Benjamin Daniel (born March 15, 1890).

Henry EASTERBROOK and Isabella CLARKSON

Henry Joseph Joseph and Isabella lived in Hamilton, Lanark until about 1888 when they emigrated to the USA.

This family is being researched by Carol.
