HENRY T. HEALEY, brick-manufacturer, Homestead, was born May 21, 1847, in Oxfordshire, England, the only son of James and Susan (Johnson) Healey, former of whom now resides with him. Mr. Healey was a carpenter by trade in England, immigrated to America in 1872, and was the first one to settle in Homestead after it was laid out in lots. In the great strike at the steel mills he received injuries which prevented him from following his trade, and since 1877 he has been successfully engaged in the manufacture of bricks. His first wife, Jane Milk (deceased), was the mother of five children: Albert, William, Henry T., John A. and Jessie. By his present wife, nee Maggie Freeburn, he has four children: James, Edward, Susan and Alice. Mr. and Mrs. Healey are members of the Episcopal Church, and he is a republican.
