"Henry Wardner died at his home in Springfield, Mass., Sunday afternoon from paralysis resulting from a stroke of apoplexy, Thursday afternoon preceding, from which he did not recover consciousness.
The following sketch of his life is taken from the Springfield Republican:
“Although less than eight years a resident of Springfield, Mr. Wardner’s life of well used leisure here attracted friends, who enjoyed contact with his cultivated mind, and refined nature. Mr. Wardner was a native of Windsor, Vt., where he was born Feb. 10, 1817. His father, Allen Wardner was a prosperous merchant and a man of consequence in the community. The son was for a time connected with the store, but later entered the Ascutney bank of which his father was for a long time president.
Jason Steele was cashier of the institution, and Mr. Wardner married his daughter Caroline P. Steele, June 13, 1866. He had succeeded Mr. Steele as cashier of the institution, and on the death of his father Mr. Wardner practically owned the bank. For about 30 years he managed the affairs of the bank, although retaining the position of cashier. His precise methods in business and good judgment gave him a reputation in banking circles of the period. His signature was characteristic, the letters in close and rather slanting lines, ending with a flourish. When the charter of the bank expired Mr. Wardner decided to retire from business and closed up his affairs.
He sought a desirable home where he might educate his children, and in 1883, moved to this city, occupying the house on Elliott street until his death. Mr. Wardner was always and intelligent reader and much of his life in this city was spent with his books.
His early education was secured at Kimball Union academy, Meriden, N. H. Although never taking part in public affairs, he was a keen observer of passing events, and was especially well informed on issues in the financial world.
Beside the widow, he leaves three children, H. S. Wardner in the Harvard law school, Allen Wardner, a member of the Belmont preparatory school, and Miss Susie (Susan Ellen) Wardner, who is at home. A brother, Edward Wardner, lives at Windsor, Vt., and besides Mrs. Evarts there are three sisters, Mrs. E. E. Lamson of St. Paul, Mrs. A. G. Johnson of Watertown, Ct., and Mrs. T. B. Harrington of West Chester, N.Y.”
The remains of the deceased were brought to Windsor, Wednesday evening, and after funeral services in St. Paul’s church, Thursday morning, were interred in Ascutney Cemetery."
