Marie Henry
Posted By thecircusblog on March 12, 2010
This is a photo that I thought I would never see. This pretty lady is my Aunt Marie Henry she, the wife of Robert “Hap” Henry. Photo taken 1929 0r 1930. Hap was the third oldest of the Henry brothers. He and Marie had two sons, Michael and Richard. My uncle Hap was seriously injured by his elephant. The accident took place on the Rudy Bros circus around 1953. After a performance while running back to the elephant trailer he slipped and fell to the ground and the elephant’s foot hit him in the back of his head. Hap never totally recovered from his injuries and later died.
Thank you Jackie for the photo.
