Century Memorial

Henry E. Hawley was a well-known business man of this city; a member of the firm of Carter, Hawley & Company, importers from the East Indies. He was a graduate of Yale in the class of 1860, which numbered many distinguished New Yorkers in its list; and was a descendant of an old Connecticut family, which founded Ridgefield, Connecticut, some of the members of which still occupy the old homestead under deed from the Indians. He was actively identified with the Children’s Aid Society, the Five Points House of Industry, and other charities; and was a member of many of the most important clubs. He is remembered as a genial, retiring man, interested in all that was refining and elevating, and honorable in all the affairs of life.
