J.E. Henry… James Edward Henry. My grandfather is on the far right and next to him is my aunt Bertha Henry. Next I am not sure. Then I believe this is Arthur Henry far left. This is the first time I have seen this photo. I find it hard to recognize photos of my aunts […]

This is a picture of my grandfather mounted on paint horse, ready for spec. I believe the date to be 1919. It was not until later years when he acquired a three pole top.

My Grandfather never played very many large towns as he preferred small towns. The reason was, he had a wagon show and the miles between small towns were less than between large towns which made it easier to herd the big animals over the road. It would take a full day to travel 35 miles, […]
The Henry Elephant named “Gip”
thecircusblog | November 22, 2014
The photo says she was 110 yrs old ….I don’t believe that is accurate as I think she was in her eighties when she died. Gip or Gypsy as she was called sometimes, had been on other circuses before Grandfather bought her. She was not a very well elephant and nearing the end of her […]

In this photo Grandfather is presenting one of the llama’s from his menagerie. Many of the photos that had been taken of his circus were turned into post cards. He used them for personal and advance advertisement.
Henry Bros Circus

Grandfather, for whatever reason, would often change the name of the circus such as J.E Henry’s Circus or Big Show, Henry Bros, and as seen in this photo…. The Great Henry’s Show. Photo taken in the early 1900’s. I wish I could make out the writing on this photo. Can you, if so please comment.
