Early lifeHornblower was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on June 8, 1863. He was a son of Edward Thomas (1828–1901) and Martha Boyd (née Whiting) Hornblower (1824–1873). He came from a distinguished patrician family. Reportedly, "the name of 'Hornblower' is one of the features of Boston and the old Bay State. It is a name that has flourished through generations... The line of Hornblowers in Boston and New England has been an honorable one as far back as family prestige can be traced."[1] He graduated from the Cotting High School of Arlington, Massachusetts in 1878. CareerIn 1879,[2] Hornblower started his career by entering his father's financial business, Hornblower and Page.[3] In 1888, Henry Hornblower and John W. Weeks (the former U.S. Secretary of War) formed a partnership which in time became a financial power in this part of the country.[2] Hornblower was a member of the governing committee of the Boston Stock Exchange and its president in 1911-1912. Among the corporations of which he was a director were the First National Corporation, the First National Bank of Boston, the Hoosac Mills, the New England Power Association, the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, and the Boston Five Cents Savings Bank. He remained active in some of these after his retirement from the firm of Hornblower & Weeks in 1936.[5] Personal lifeOn May 12, 1886, Hornblower married Harriet Frances "Hattie" Wood (1864–1955) of Arlington, where they lived for thirty-six years. In 1922, they moved to 89 Mt. Vernon Street in Boston. Together, they were the parents of:[3]
Hornblower was a member of the Algonquin Club, Exchange Club, Union Club, and Boston City Club, of the Boston Art Club, and of the Brookline Country Club.[2] Amateur athletics attracted him and led him to serve as treasurer of the New England Olympic Club in 1912. Unostentatiously he supported good causes such as the North American Civic League for Immigrants, of which he was a trustee.[7] He died of a heart attack, after a round of golf with friend Donald Ross,[8] at Pinehurst, North Carolina on April 11, 1941.[9] His grandson, Henry Hornblower II, founded Plimoth Plantation, the living history museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts.[10] References1. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=u-UoAAAAYAAJ Copper Curb & Mining Outlook] Vol. 9, #1, September 27, 1911, p.14-15 2. ^{{cite journal|title=Hornblower & Weeks, Boston|journal=The Bankers Magazine|date=1908|volume=Volume 77|pages=441-448|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RHY9AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA442|accessdate=21 May 2018|publisher=Bradford-Rhodes & Company|language=en}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Henry Hornblower, Ex-Stock Broker {{!}} Headed Wall St. House--Was Active 56 Years|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/52815504/?terms=Henry%2BHornblower|accessdate=21 May 2018|work=The Brooklyn Daily Eagle|date=April 13, 1941|page=11|language=en}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=C.
