HENRY HARRINGTON - A native and lifelong resident of Westford, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Mr. Harrington has been engaged there and in the surrounding territory for more than three decades with great success in the building and contracting business. He has been one of the chief factors in building up Graniteville and Forge Village, Middlesex County, the latter place especially owing the majority of its public and private buildings to his energy, ability, and enterprise. He is considered one of the leading contractors and builders in his section of the county and enjoys a very high reputation for integrity and for the high quality of all of the operations carried an by him and his organization.

In 1895 he established himself in the contracting and building business in Westford and Graniteville, in which he has continued ever since. He has been instrumental in the development of Graniteville and Forge Village. In the latter place he has erected mare than one hundred houses, representing about two-thirds of all the residences there. Many public buildings and factories have also been built by him, including several schoolhouses, a number of the buildings of the Abbot Worsted Company, moving picture theatres, etc. He also carries on an extensive jobbing and repair business. His operations cover an extensive area in Northern Middlesex County including such towns as Groton, Lowell, Pepperell and Concord. Far a number of years he has been a member of the Westford Finance Board and of the Board of Health. He is also a member of the Foresters of America, while his religious affiliations are with the Roman Catholic church, and more particularly with St. Catherine's Church, of Graniteville.
Mr. Harrington married, at Westford, June 15, 1899, Elizabeth J. Dunn, of Westford, a daughter of Thomas and Catherine (Digan) Dunn. Mr. and Mrs. Harrington are the parents of four children, all born in Westford:
