- Henry Carter Welles (May 13, 1821 – July 7, 1868) was an American druggist and businessman. He is thought of as one of the founders of Memorial Day, along with former Union General John B. Murray. Welles was born in Glastonbury, Connecticut in 1821 to Henry and Sila Welles. She was a distant cousin of her husband and shared the same last name. Henry’s father died when he was young and his mother moved the family to Waterloo, New York where her brother Gardner Welles worked as a physician. Welles went into the drug business with his cousin, Dr. Samuel R. Welles by 1855. He married Josephine Shotwell in 1857 and had two children, Sterling Hadley Welles and Helen Lavanche Welles, both of whom died in 1861. His cousin left the firm in 1858 but Henry continued with the drug store until he died in Waterloo on July 7, 1868. (en)
