Eugene was born in the town of Lyons, Wis., near the city of Burlington. His maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Lyons had moved there from New York in 1841. At that time, the settlement was known as Hudson but later took the family name of Lyons.
He was the son of Capt. And Mrs. Angus Sperry Northrop.
While a young man, he entered the employ of the St. Paul Railroad company as a telegrapher, finally becoming chief train dispatcher of the south-eastern division of that road.
In the late 1890's he organized the Northrop Stock Brokerage company of Chicago with offices on Main street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. The company dealt in stocks, bonds, and grain.
In 1901 he became the manager and director of the Northrop School of Music of Chicago. It became one of the finest schools of its kind in Illinois.
He brought some of the greatest orchestras and singers in the world to Chicago.
He was survived by his wife Jessie, and two grandchildren, Dove Jean, and James R. Slauson Northrop.
