ALBERT J. HENZY. A man of acknowledged business ability and tact, Albert J. Henzy holds a position of note in the business circles of Tiffin, being at the head of the firm of A. J. Henzy & Company, undertakers and dealers in furniture. A native of Ohio, he was born October 4, 1864, in Sandusky, Erie county, coming from thrifty German ancestry. Growing to manhood in the city of Sandusky, he attended the public schools until fourteen years old, when he entered the employ of J. Krupp & Son, furniture dealers and undertakers, with whom he remained four years. Feeling then the need of a better knowledge of commercial matters, he entered the Sandusky Business College, and there completed the course of study. After his graduation Mr. Henzy was clerk in a shoe store in his native city for two and one half years, when, in 1883, he accompanied his mother on a trip to her early home in Germany, being away about three months.

Returning to Ohio, Mr. Henzy located in Cleveland, where for a year he was employed as a clerk in the carpet and furniture store of M. J. Moriatry. Coming from there to Tiffin in August, 1885, he accepted a position as clerk in the shoe store of J. H. Kuebler, with whom he continued for two and on half years. Forming then a partnership with Otto Wagoner, he purchased the furniture and undertaking establishment of P. Grummel & Son, and has since carried on a substantial business under the present name of A. J. Henzy & Company.

Mr. Henzy married on May 25, 1886, Rosa M. Kuebler, who was born in Tiffin and was here educated, attending first the parochial schools and later being graduated form the Ursuline Convent. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Henzy, namely; Urban L., a graduate of the Buffalo Commercial School; Herman A., who completed his studies in the parochial school; Helen F., a graduate of the Uruline convent; and Louisa M., a pupil in the same convent. Mr Henzy and his family are consistent and valued members of St. Joseph's Catholic church. Fraternally Mr. Henzy belongs to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and is treasurer of his lodge. An active member of the Democratic party, he was elected sheriff of Seneca county in 1902, and served from January, 1903, until January, 1905.
