1900

Henry Weston's daughter Mrs. F. Bruce Hart has two children, Valerie (Mrs. Thomas Maxwell) and a son Bruce. To Valerie, a daughter was born in February 1956. Bruce was married on July 1955 to Lorette Poto of Boston. He has a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree from the Juilliard School of Music. Henry's other child, Barrett, has eight children - the oldest born in 1932.

In going through the class files for the above data, it was borne in on me how little we remember of one another's histories. Take Major Henry Weston, as an example. Sure, I knew he was an Army doctor. I remember how impressed with him I was when I first saw him in uniform. But that was about all I knew of him - an Army doctor. Now see what I (and possibly you) didn't know! - Graduated cum laude; Instructor biology for a year; and Graduate Bellevue Hospital Medical School (1903). After one year as attending physician at DeWitt Dispensary, returned to his native Windsor for private practice which he continued until 1908. He then entered the Medical Department of the U.S. Army and served in the Philippines and various sections of this country.

In the fall of 1910, he completed his first tour of foreign service in the U.S. Army and returned to the states being ordered to Fort Strong, Boston Harbor, for duty as surgeon at that post. He was then ordered to Key West Barracks, Fla. In 1913, he sailed again for another tour of foreign duty in the Philippines. Things were still crude and strenuous in the islands. When on field duty, he lived for months at a time without even a tent for shelter. Because of ill health of members of his family due to long residence in the tropics,' he left the active service of the United States Army in January 1915 and resumed practice of his profession in Windsor.

In a letter written at this time, Henry notes that he now had one year of home life after eight years of travel over the globe: two tours of duty in the Philippines; service in our (then) most southern post of Key West, Florida; visiting practically every section of the United States; and doing duty at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., Boston Harbor, Mass., and Camp Humphreys, Va. Henry was promoted to Major in the Medical Corps, Regular Army. In September 1918, he wrote: "I hope to get across in the near future. ... I suppose I am more useful here than I would be over there, therefore, like a good soldier, which I hope I am, I try to be patient and wait my turn." On November 28, 1918, he died.
