Born in Strathroy, Ontario, Bentley married Margaret Lettice West in 1883. They had three children together and moved to Lethbridge in 1885, where he opened a dry good store in 1885 on the main street in Lethbridge.[3][4] In fact, he was the first merchant in the settlement.[4] After his predecessor Charles Magrath decided not to seek reelection because of pressure at his company, Bentley—who was then town alderman—was appointed by acclamation as mayor.[5] Most of his term was spent dealing with the local effects of a worldwide economic depression. The North Western Coal and Navigation Company, one of the area's largest employers was hit with closures and layoffs, and town growth practically ceased. at the end of his second term, Bentley saw interest in local settlement increase and the NWCNC's financial performance improve.[6] Bentley served on the executive committees of the Lethbridge Baseball Club, Lethbridge Lacrosse Club and the Lethbridge Rugby Football Union. He was also chairman of the town's immigration committee. In addition, the land for the first fire hall was purchased from him.[5] Notes1. ^{{cite web |last = Staples |first = David |title = Jim Dinning, a hero to his own nanny, would have made an excellent premier |date = 2006-12-20 |url = http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/blog/staples.html?post=5907 |accessdate = 2007-02-28}}{{dead link|date=October 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Bentley, Harry H.}}{{Lethbridge-stub}}{{Alberta-mayor-stub}}2. ^{{cite web |title = Annual Review 200–2004 |publisher = Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce |url = http://www.lethbridgechamber.com/reports/2003-2004.pdf |accessdate = 2007-02-28 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070929004241/http://www.lethbridgechamber.com/reports/2003-2004.pdf |archivedate = 2007-09-29 |df = }} 3. ^{{cite web | title = Bentley, Henry | work = Pioneer Profiles | publisher = Southern Alberta Pioneers and Their Descendants | url = http://www.pioneersalberta.org/profiles/b.html | accessdate = 2007-02-28 }} 4. ^{{cite web |title = Lethbridge - A Visual History |work = An Alberta Centennial Project - 2005 |publisher = OurHistory.net |url = http://www.ourheritage.net/index_page_stuff/Local_History_Links/Lethbridge_visual/Lethbridge_gps11-15.html |accessdate = 2007-02-28 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927202447/http://www.ourheritage.net/index_page_stuff/Local_History_Links/Lethbridge_visual/Lethbridge_gps11-15.html |archive-date = 2007-09-27 |dead-url = yes |df = }} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web | last = Obee | first = Dave | title = Lethbridge 1891: A settlement becomes a town | url = http://www.daveobee.com/resources/lethbridge1891.pdf | accessdate = 2007-02-28 }} 6. ^{{cite web |title = Lethbridge Mayors Each Left a Legacy |publisher = Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce |work = 2006 Lethbridge Centennial Celebrations |url = http://www.lethbridge.ca/NR/rdonlyres/C8DB8967-4FC8-4417-8D8F-175C6BE66B52/7432/MayorCouncil1.pdf |accessdate = 2007-02-28 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927024458/http://www.lethbridge.ca/NR/rdonlyres/C8DB8967-4FC8-4417-8D8F-175C6BE66B52/7432/MayorCouncil1.pdf |archive-date = 2007-09-27 |dead-url = yes |df = }} 4 : Mayors of Lethbridge|History of Lethbridge|1852 births|1922 deaths |
