From the National Cooper's Journal, May 1918, page 11:
EDWIN HENNING
Although Edwin Henning has not been personally active in the cooperage business for over twenty years, having gradually transferred his activities to other lines, still the name of E. Henning of Chicago is so well and favorably known to the trade that the recent announcement of Mr. Henning's death at the still early age of sixty-six came as a distinct shock to all who knew him coupled with a deep feeling of sincere regret.
Mr. Henning was born in Ann Arbor, Mich, and after graduating from the University of Michigan, he engaged at once in the cooperage business with his father, David Henning, who in 1856 had established several tight and stack stave mills and two cooper shops at Ypsilanti and Williamston, Mich., which plants and cooper shops are still doing business. The business of E. Henning, Inc., 305 South La Salle St., of which organization M. Taaffe, so well known to the trade, has so long been the directing head, is a continuation of the business founded by David Henning, and such interest as E. Henning had in it will remain, Mr. Taaffe having been named executor of the estate to serve without bond.
Mr. Henning left a wide field of business activities as well as a wide circle of friends. His personal characteristics were such as won him esteem at all times and for all with whom he came in contact. To Mr. Henning's wife who survives him, the Journal extends sincere sympathy in the bereavement that has come to her and the loss she has sustained, while we mourn the passing of one of our oldest friends.
