His father died in 1832, leaving Rachael to raise the family. Henry, with his brother John, took over their late father's locksmith business when they became old enough.They obtained government contracts in Washington, D.C., where he lived for a time, and the nearby government depot at Harpers Ferry. Henry and his wife Annie moved to San Diego in May 1855.Henry went into partnership with his brother Thomas, and reopened the General Store Thomas previously ran in Old Town San Diego as "Whaley and Whaley."They also operated a brick manufacturing business, bought from George P. Tebbetts.Henry and Annie lived with his brother and wife until they had their own home.Henry and Annie quarreled frequently and were often drunk, both in public and private.Henry often overcharged customers, was loud, and often drunk.Frustrated, Thomas dissolved the partnership in November 1855.In retaliation, Henry assaulted Thomas in the store, and when Henry was sent out to the street, he shouted insults and obscenities and challenged Thomas to come out and fight.The brothers weren't on speaking terms after that. In 1857, Henry was a victim of an apparently unprovoked knife attack on him and Lewis Franklin by William "Reub" Leroy. Leroy attacked the two and ran from Franklin's store. He pulled a man off a horse and ran it to the Presidio Hill, where he remained. Authorities came and arrested him. Whaley's arm had to be amputated as a result of the attack.Leroy was held in the county "jail" (an adobe building) where he dug out and descaped with another prisoner. Whaley was Associate Judge, Court of Sessions, San Diego County during 1857–1858.Whaley was appointed President for the San Diego city Board of Trustees (informally called "Mayor") during 1858–1859. Henry and Annie had at least one son, John Thomas. (en) |
