HENRY MATTHEW DICK.
Henry Mathew Dick, who was secretary and
treasurer of the Gradwohl-Whitney Realty
Company, was born in Quincy Illinois, on the 23d of June,
1880, a son of Herman and Augusta (Brand) Dick.
When he was but three years of age the parents left Illinois
and came with their family to Toledo, where Henry M. Dick
attended the public schools. Later he became a
student in the Phillips Academy at Andover, Massachusetts,
and graduated from Harvard in 1905.
His first commercial venture was in the storage battery
business in Toledo and after a time he became assistant
secretary of the Huebner Toledo Breweries Company. He
was thus engaged until 1916, when he turned his attention to
real estate interests and was elected secretary and
treasurer of the Gradwohl-Whitman Realty Company.
He thus entered actively into the purchase and sale of
realty and negotiated many important property transfers.
He also became an officer of the Sonora Mining & Development
Company in the state of Sonora, Mexico, but at the time of
the Yaqui uprising was compelled to leave the country for
safety, although still owning much property there.
On the 25th of May, 1909, in New York, Mr.
Dick was united in marriage to Miss Clara
Reinhart of Toledo, a daughter of Florian
and Magdalen Reinhart. Mr.
Dick passed away on the 9th of July, 1919 , as the
result of a nervous break-down. His political
allegiance was always given to the republican party and he
kept well informed on the questions and issues of the day.
He belonged to the Toledo Club and to the Toledo Yacht Club
and was a well informed man on every subject, reading widely
and thinking deeply.
