History

Henry William "Harry" Anthes was a businessman and the founder of Anthes Foundry, Ltd. He was born in 1851 in Wilmot Township, Ontario to German parents from what was then the region of Alsace-Lorraine. Anthes married Elizabeth (Libbie) Lawrence and the couple had three children: Lawrence Lee "Laurie", Irene, and Elizabeth F. (Libbie). His career in the hardware business started in Toronto, where he worked with Rice Lewis and Son, and later manager of John Foster and Sons. Anthes moved to Berlin (now Kitchener) in 1880, where in 1883 he was a councillor for Waterloo township and in 1886 was 2nd Deputy Reeve for Waterloo township, and a Councillor for Waterloo County. Anthes returned to Toronto in 1889 where, along with E. W. B. Snider of St. Jacob's, he established Toronto Foundry Co., Ltd. The company was later renamed Anthes Foundry, Ltd., with plants in Toronto and Winnipeg. Anthes died August 15, 1914 in Sans Souci, Georgian Bay, Ontario and was interred in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto.
