Notes:

My original notes on Henry/Harry, which I believe came from Edna Valentine (I failed to source original info), appeared to have a marriage date for Henry Valentine and Edna Luyster of 21 Dec 1917. However, the NY Times announcement of Edna Luyster’s second marriage in 1921 mentions that her first husband had died in 1917. Moreover, there is a census record for Henry and Edna living together married in Oyster Bay in 1910, stating they had been married five years. Have verified through Brooklyn Eagle Obit that he died 21 Dec 1917.

While I have found Henry/Harry listed in multiple genealogical database as Henry Hewlett Valentine, I’ve yet to see that name properly sourced, and have repeatedly found him listed as Henry Webber Valentine (including his death notice).

Harry was an early automobile enthusiast, and is listed in the 1914 Automobile Owners Directory as the proud owner of a Willys.

Henry married LUYSTER, Edna about 1905. Edna (daughter of LUYSTER and Sarah) was born on 27 Feb 1880 in Glen Cove, Nassau, New York, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
