BIOGRAPHY
Henry Wick was born in Kragerø, Norway, January 1872. His immigration
record lists him as Harald Wiig, so Henry may have been his middle name
and not his forename. About 1893 Henry married Camilla, born in Norway, January 1870. Henry
and Camilla had seven children, but only four survived: Harold, Henry,
Edward and Camilla. Henry died
young between 1906 and 1910, leaving his widow with four children aged
three to twelve. Undoubtedly other family members provided Camilla
with assistance during this time as she did not remarry.
We know little about Henry, other than he was working as a
janitor in
1900. He and Camilla had purchased a home on 68th Street in
South Brooklyn, which was
mortgaged in 1910. That Camilla was still living there in 1920 suggests
that she either had her own finances or was receiving financial help.
The family believed in educating the children and Camilla carried on this
tradition. By 1920, Henry Jr. was a file clerk in a bank and Edward was an
office boy in a bank. These positions may have been acquired through
family connections as Christian
Greenwold was the superintendent of the Mechanics Bank. Harold
Wick, eldest of the children, married and became well known in the
shipping industry at Port Washington.
Henry's son Henry W. Wick was born 23 Jul 1901, Brooklyn, and married
Grace_____ in 1927 or 1928. They were living with Camilla in 1930 when
Henry was employed as a book keeper for "Int T&T." Henry died
August 1969 in Saint Petersburg, Pinellas Co., Florida.
Edward Wick was born 30 Jun 1904 in Brooklyn, and died October
1966. He may be the Edward W. Wick who married Clare McNamara and were
living with her parents in New Jersey in 1930.
